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.
