EDWARD KA-SPEL & THE SILVERMAN @ THE WALNUT ROOM 5/18 & 5/19 2012 DENVER-CO

“Capsule was diving, the temperature rising, Was hardly surprising his tears turned to steam in the blink of an eye, Just the hint of a cry, Baby knew he was dying, he knew he had failed, And the mountainside opened, a moment to pray for all the souls he’d come to save, Now he couldn’t save himself, that’s the way the world goes round, it spins so fast, it made him giddy, Sucking all the power from the Silver Man”

Edward Ka-Spel and The Silver Man are The Legendary Pink Dots, if you try to distinguish between both projects you probably will fail. Mr. Ka-Spel’s voice is distinctive, quite charming and musical, his songs at times sound a bit disjointed and leaned toward beautiful sound collages and a lot of strangeness. They have released about 30 studio albums, many live lp’s, singles an EP’s of dark psychedelic folk noise with haunting, heavily echoed keyboards, random samples and oceans of feedback. Their songs go through phases between surreal soundscapes an actual songs and are extremely offbeat and full of explorations. Prepare to take a journey through a world of insane, demented noise and haunting, strange and beautiful psychedelia.
