Phil Shoenfelt's new studio album "Cassandra Lied" will be released 10th January 2020 by Sireena Records Phil’s new solo album Cassandra Lied was recorded in Prague between
August 2018 and November 2019. He was joined in this endeavour by
several notable musicians, including band-mate and co-producer Chris
Hughes (drummer with These Immortal Souls, Mick Harvey, Hugo Race,
Alexander Hacke) and lapsteel guitarist Kristof Hahn of Swans. Marcia
Schofield, Eva Turnová and Baron Anastis sang backing vocals, and
Anastis played some ace bass on “The Man Who Sold The World”.
A radical departure from Phil‘s previous work, Cassandra Lied has a lyrical depth which is comparable to the work of rock poets such as Leonard Cohen, Lou Reed and Patti Smith. The music itself is closer to the layered, atmospheric approach of artists like Brian Eno, David Bowie and Tony Visconti than it is to traditional rock dynamics. Other influences on this album are post-punk bands such as Joy Division and Krautrock bands Neu and La Düsseldorf. Cassandra Lied is released on January 10th on the Sireena label, and will be available at online shops such as Amazon and at regular retail outlets via Broken Silence distribution.  Pre-Order available now @

 PHIL SHOENFELT & BRUNO ADAMS "OUT OF THE SKY - REAL WORLD DEMOS" In January 2006, Phil Shoenfelt & Bruno
Adams began to prepare the songs that would later be featured on REAL WORLD,
the third Fatal Shore CD (Amboss Recordings, 2007). Of the fourteen songs that
would appear on Real World, nine are
presented on Out Of The Sky in their
prototypical form. Whereas the critically acclaimed Real World is notable for its lush orchestral arrangements, the
songs contained on OOTS are
remarkable for their purity of sound and the intricate interweaving of voices
and guitars. Without the embellishment of bass, drums and orchestra, a rich
tonality is revealed, a harmonic vibration that emerges naturally, without
striving or affectation. These songs are strong enough to stand alone – they enter
the consciousness of the listener in an intimate and unmediated manner. What is
even more surprising is that they were recorded on a simple VS-880 8-Track in
Adams’ flat in Kreuzberg – a fact that is hard to reconcile with the depth of
sonic field achieved.
The demos were lost for many years, and only came to light in March 2018. Now released in CD format by the German label Moloko +, they are a vivid testament to the lyrical and musical alchemy that existed between Phil and Bruno. They also preserve the songwriting legacy of Adams, who died from colon cancer in 2009 at the age of forty five. MOLOKO + |
