Dear friends ...
*PRESS RELEASE*
28th November, 2009
Aidan Casserly “White Soul” (Ninthwave Records)
Ninthwave Records are delighted to announce the release on CD of the
stunning debut solo acoustic album by Aidan Casserly (the lead singer
from Empire State Human, The Garland Cult and Figaro) called “White
Soul”. A collection of very intimate songs, written and produced by
Aidan Casserly and recorded at Apple Core Studio in Dublin/Ireland
with Eddy Reilly engineering.
Housed in a stunningly colourful eco-friendly, gate fold sleeve,
especially designed by Fontpusher in the UK. “White Soul” showcases
very cohesive and sensitive songwriting, combining a musical pallet of
folk, pop, torch songs, jazz with some rock and blues. Think Billy
Mackenzie meets Joni Mitchell on the song “Saviour” or even a hint of
David Bowie, The Ramones, Marc Almond and Johnny Thunders on “Born to
be Bruised”. The Johnnie Ray inspired “Smoke before the Fire” would
indicate an easy listening set, but then the torch ballad and Pete
Burns dedicated song “Torture Me”, opens up a very different door. The
cowboy blues of “Dead Man’s Blues” also showcases the wonderful guitar
work of Fergal Canterbury (who plays all guitars throughout the
album).
“White Soul” is an impressive showcase for Aidan’s beautiful singing
voice; a touch of Dusty Springfield and a sprinkling of Billy
Mackenzie, Boy George or even Russell Mael maybe?
We encourage you to sit back and enjoy a very different yet worthwhile
musical experience, from a long standing and highly respected singer
from the underground electro-pop scene.
