Coffee with Bernhard Eder.
You can keep supporting refugees and enjoy the local music scene at the same time with “Melodies For Refugees”
There are a lot of things you can do to help refugees and combine philanthropy with your love for music. Way back in July, a group of local musicians started an initiative called Asylrock and practiced playing instruments with young asylum-seeking boys and men. If you’re not a musician yourself, there are plenty of solidarity concerts to go to, the most impressive being the Voices For Refugees blockbuster demonstration last weekend at Heldenplatz, organized by Volkshilfe and Skalar Music.
If you’re more of a recorded music person but maybe didn’t feel entirely comfortable with Raoul Haspel’s #1 charting Schweigeminute (an important sign that had the nice side effect of turning the formerly unknown artist into a household name), then maybe this compilation put together by Bernhard Eder is more of your thing.
It includes Bernhard Eder dabbling in the ever so popular singing in Mundart, live and acoustic versions and entirely new songs of Kreisky, Garish, Leyya, Catastrophe & Cure, Fijuka, Die Buben im Pelz and many more, and all of this for the good cause of showing symbolic and actual financial support of refugees.
The net proceeds (that is, we presume, all proceeds minus the manufacturing costs) of Melodies For Refugees go to Helfen.Wie.Wir by the ORF and NGO’s. The downloadable version of the sampler is already available on iTunes, the CD will be out this Friday.
Bernhard Eder – The Queen And The Knight
from Lightsleeper out now on tronrecords
The video for Bernhard Eder’s first single from his new album looks like a creepy Darbo commercial at first sight, and it is very, very well done. This, ladies and gentlemen, is how you make a truly awesome music video: by first of all choosing to leave forests out of it. Secondly with a great and entertaining visual execution of a really creative idea. And thirdly, with non-embarrassing innuendo that defies ancient gender stereotypes.
I am a huge fan of this thing in its entirety. Also the music. Classic Bernhard Eder melancholy, but with a hint of Calexico and somehow more elated than usual.
Bernhard Eder is currently touring around to present his new album Lightsleeper live. Catch him in Berlin, Gaspoltshofen, Karlsruhe, Saarbrücken, Trier, Linz, Salzburg, Vienna, Graz and Innsbruck this April and May. Full tour dates here.
Bernhard Eder: "Turn On" (2015)
Bernhard Eder - Creeks Don't Flow, from The Lost Ones EP, out on 27 September on Tron Records
Bernhard Eder will play at Vienna's Radiokulturhaus on 30 September, where he will not only perform songs from his most recent album Post Breakup Coffee, but also new material like the track above. It is, as Mr. Eder mentions, the day after the Austrian elections, so his sad and slow songs are likely to fit the average politically frustrated concertgoer's mood.
