Info

Traditionally fitting to the moody, melancholic autumn season, exactly 3 years after publication of last DARK SHADOW album, "AUTUMN STILL… " brand new solo record of the Australian style icon, BRIGITTE HANDLEY appears now, exclusively on HALB 7 RECs.

` The Edge of Silence… something left unspoken… ´

Brigitte Handley is a singer, guitarist and keyboardist of the Australian Post-Punk-Noir-Wave band the DARK SHADOWS as well as longtime songwriter and solo artist.

The dark punk queen already won hearts on earlier releases, with her extraordinary-versatile, cross-pollinating compositions. Songs between RocknRoll, New Wave, Indie, Dark Punk with a dark sweet-romantic atmosphere, they have their own character and enchant and entice you to a secret dark shadow dance.

The new album "The Edge of Silence" includes, beside an exclusive and extravagant cover version by KRAFTWERK’s, "The Model" (“…he’s a model…”), nine wonderful reinterpretations of the most beautiful DARK SHADOWS songs.
The new versions are not at all self-copied cover pieces, rather a perfect synthesis of Brigitte´s unique smoky and seductive vocals with acoustic guitar sound. The graceful melodies are aesthetically enhanced through atmospheric synthesizers and electronically generated soundscapes as well as soft bass channels and discreetly inserted percussion.

With "The Edge of Silence", Brigitte Handley continues her deepened musical path consistently and intentionally. Without adapting and plagiarizing herself, the charismatic Brigitte, once again proves her astounding versatility. Effortlessly, she shows creativity and musical energy with well-known and classic DARK SHADOWS songs… making them moody and modern, so that a new piece of music is created without losing the reference to the original.

CD will release as beautiful Digifile with 8-page booklet in smart-minimal black-white artwork.
