1210 takes us to the moors.

***
beatings against the wire fence
down in the sand and the alleys
sinners watched the evening news
confessions punched-in
cuffed-out and divided
held like a crucifix in a deathhand

singer/songwriter nick hakim machte mit zwei eps bereits auf sich aufmerksam. mit dem debütalbum wagt er nun einen experimentellen schritt vorwärts. von robert wyatt über marvin gaye und shuggie otis zu my blood valentine - diese künstler haben den in washington d.c. aufgewachsenen sänger, multiinstrumentalisten und produzenten musikalisch beeinflusst. moderner, psychedelischer und doch warmer soul!

in italys deepest south, where summer sun is harsh and burns you at midday, sweat is real. you can smell, taste and feel it. it s cold sweat. from constant fear, that haunts people in the dusty streets like shadows. some say, its only paranoia. but you can t deny the kidnappings, the stick-ups and the killings. police is doomed to watch, hands cuffed, since the power lays in the hands of others. who are they? they are invisible. you can only see the bloodshed and the tears. and like everywhere else in the world: violence is always calling for more violence. this is the life of jack curtu. and his music takes you there. three slices, each unique in style, yet united by human rage, misery and desperation. senza via duscita - theres no way out! lux rec knows.
