Anglo-Dutch experimental rock band The Legendary Pink Dots, who formed in London in 1980 and are still helmed by co-founder and frontman Edward Ka-Spel, released a brand new video for the track "Blood Money". The track is taken from the upcoming album, So Lonely In Heaven, which will be released via Metropolis Records on 17 January.
Edward Ka-Spel comments: "Way way back in the early days I used to say a lot about 'The Terminal Kaleidoscope', a concept comparing the fragile planet we live on to a drowning human being with life flashing before his or her eyes, the images constantly accelerating. It's 2024, a little over two decades since the turn of this unbearably turbulent century and the concept appears to have become an unlikely soap opera where we are the cast. Let's hang in there...."
Often likened to an industrial version of Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd, it was actually early David Bowie, The Residents, Can, Faust and musique concrete composers such as Pierre Henry who were far bigger influences on the Dots when they started out. Indeed, the lengthy fever dream-like sonic expeditions that litter the band's catalogue have often received the greatest praise.
The music made by The Legendary Pink Dots has incorporated elements of neo-psychedelia, ambient music, electronic music, tape music, psychedelic folk, synthpop, post-punk, progressive jazz, noise music, pop music, goth rock and alternative rock....occasionally all at the same time.
