The
Whispering Wall is the Legendary Pink Dots’ latest album & third release on ROIR.
The album will coincide with a 35-date North American
tour. The Pink Dots know that the future, our man-made future is coming.
And it is coming to get us. Whereas 2002’s All The King’s
Men relied heavily on lush weighty soundscapes, The Whispering
Wall provides Ka-Spel’s poetry more room to flourish. Prophetic
lyrics & haunting vocals envelope the listener; each song a continuation
of the on-going story the LPD tell— either through whimsical songs
about Humpty Dumpty’s travails or frightful anecdotes about a society
increasingly dependent on technology yet perilously incapable of doing
without it. Please take a listen— it may be the most intriguing story
you’ve heard in a very long time— until next time.
For
the last 25 years, the Legendary Pink Dots have been one of the most consistently
innovative and intriguing bands around. Constantly touring on the Continent
and in North America, they have produced over 25 records on labels such
as Play It Again Sam, Wax Trax, Staalplaat, Caroline, and Soleilmoon USA.
Their leader, Edward Ka-Spel, a frequent collaborator with Skinny Puppy,
has released albums of his own material and with Tear Garden (members
of Skinny Puppy).
Their
unusual mixture of psychedelic whimsy, industrial gloom, and Alice In
Wonderland textural madness has made them a constant presence on the innovative
fringes of the cult music scene. Their dedication to the road and their
inimitable style has earned them a near universal respect from critics
and peers.
