BLACK PALMS ORCHESTRA - Tropical Gothic (Sealed) (CD)

When the new album of the Black Palms Orchestra starts with a sample from the Alpenwestern "Das dunstere Tal", it fits perfectly. And not only atmospherically. Andreas Prochaska's successful film ties in with iconic western traditions, but at the same time tries to take an Austrian view of the genre. Christian Fuchs also follows similar paths with his musical heart project. "Tropical Gothic" (Seayou Records) refers on the one hand to feverish rock'n'roll and blues traditions. And this with legendary protagonists from this field, like Jonas Almquist, the singer of the Swedish 80ies rocker The Leather Nun, who came back from the dead end.
