Black Tape for a Blue Girl: The Scavenger Bride

Kafkaesque disc avoids concept-album pitfalls to emerge as a true work of art. | 9 out of 10 | Listening to "The Scavenger Bride" by Black Tape for a Blue Girl is like sitting in a cathedral of mindful gloom, feeling at once melancholy and reassured. Sam Rosenthal continues to be inspired by the art of Marcel Duchamp, while author Franz Kafka serves as muse for this concept album set in 1913 Prague. The title track is a cinematic overture, a portent of the artful blending of goth, ambient and chamber music to follow. Rich, timeless vocals by Elysabeth Grant, Bret Helm, and others breathe dark life into the passionate lyrics, but it's the instrumental passages-with flute by Lisa Feuer, violin by Vicki Richards, cello by Julia Kent and electronics by Rosenthal-that burrow deep with the greatest poignancy. Comparisons with Dead Can Dance have become tiresome and inaccurate, for what Rosenthal is doing here is more original and singular in its ability to touch the listener both emotionally and intellectually. - Mark Burbey

A review in Czech from: www.mysteria.cz
Black Tape For A Blue Girl se vzdy vyznacovali vzbourenou citovostí prodchnutou smutkem a krásou. Nové album The Scavenger Bride je inspirováno i dílem Franze Kafky a umeleckou tvorbou Marcela Duchampa a vypráví romanticky´ príbeh vystaveny´ na citové bouri vsech svobodny´ch mládencu? hledajících svoji mystickou „nevestu", jiz lépe nikdy nezahlédnout nez jen zábleskem v proudech jarního deste nebo v tajemny´ch stínech a trpytu dubnové luny.
