Teho Teardo & Blixa Bargeld return with ‘Nerssimo’, 3 years after sold out debut
“Nerssimo” (Italian actually meaning the superlative for black) is the brand new album for the duo Teho Teardo & Blixa Bargeld which will be in stores in mid-May (but you can order it right here on CD and vinyl). The album comes 3 years after their debut album “Still Smiling”. Note that the songs on the album were written and sung in German, English and Italian; the title song for instance is featured in English and Italian.
For those who dig the artwork of the album, know that the cover artwork was inspired by a painting from Hans Holbein the Younger titled “The Ambassadors” (1533). Embedded in the painting are enigmatic references to philosophy, religion, mortality, and illusion, which connect to some of the themes in the album.
To give you an idea how the band sounds, check this track from their previous album. Highly recommended!
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since youâre here âŠ
⊠we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we havenât put up a paywall â we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Lineâs independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine â and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
