Puerto Muerto - Drumming for pistols

Tim Kelley and Christa Meyer better known as Puerto Muerto have been making intoxicatingly dark cabaret inspired music for almost ten years. Their debut album Your Bloated Corpse Has Washed Ashore is considered a cult classic.
They are an interesting band that are a secret gem to those who have been lucky enough to find them.

The latest from the pair is their sixth full length release entitled Drumming For Pistols which is due out February 9th on Fire Records. This album very much like their past work is filled with themes of deep loss and regrettable sadness woven all the way through. Even though this band has beautiful arrangements in their music, their medium for expression is equal parts storytelling. Very much in the spirit of two of their influences Nick Cave and Nina Simone, every song has a different character, a new way of feeling lonely and a new twist in it.

Drumming For Pistols touches on the gritty realities of life and celebrates the darkness within.

thanks for the video response, music is a strange thing last time i heard this song its didn't sound as good as today, its was the first tune i listened to when i woke up this morning

what i like most about music, is that it never sounds the same depending on the time of the day and i can never figure out who my favorite artist is :)

thanks again for sharing your good taste :)
