Gothic blues\/folk\/jazz collective The Dead Brothers<\/a> from Switzerland have provided us with strange but spot-on releases for over 20 years, but now they have been overtaken by their own theme. Death is Forever<\/em><\/a> will be their last LP, one with an even darker edge than usual. Frontman Alain Croubalian (1964-2021) passed away shortly after the recording of these twelve new tracks, which he created in close collaboration with his poet partner Marc Littler. The extraordinary, eclectic combination of vintage instruments, styles and rhythms inimitably create a theatrical atmosphere that is as imaginative as it is mystical and fascinating. In addition to the originals, there are covers of Blaze Foley’s I Wrote A Book<\/em> and Domenico Modugno’s Amara Terra<\/em>. The album closes with traditional gospel song Wayfaring Stranger<\/em>, the last the Dead Brothers ever recorded. Their music will live on.<\/p>\n
