Spiritual Front - Black Hearts In Black Suits - Music by Stefano Puri

Out on 6 December 2013

BLACK HEARTS IN BLACK SUITS: A collaboration born of a long separation.

Seven years after the highly acclaimed ARMAGEDDON GIGOLO, Simone Salavatori and Stefano Puri once again find their paths crossing. BLACK HEARTS IN BLACK SUITS is the result of three years of work, composed by Stefano Puri specifically for SPIRITUAL FRONT, with Simone Salvatori lending his voice and interpretation (as intense and charismatic as ever) to the composer’s music. The poems of Reiner Werner Fassbinder are given new light as they materialize into musical form as Stefano Puri sits at the piano and joins Simone Salvatori on a voyage of no return. The SYMPOSIUM ENSEMBLE and the BLACK HEARTS CHOIR round out the endeavor.

The composer’s writing – in one moment minimal and introspective, in the next dark and theatrical – follows ancestral pathways along which the singers voice moves between intimacy and majesty, between heavy chords and light harmonies, between airy string passages and obscure choral harmonies. A concept album more akin to an opera than to the traditional LP, BLACK HEARTS IN BLACK SUITS is a fascinating symphonic journey that takes us through the darkest nihilistic sides of both the composer and the icon of “Suicide Pop”.

From Franz Schubert to Nick Cave, Michael Nyman to David Tibet, from Arvo Pärt to Marc Almond…
with no way back.

When I'm on tour travelling I like to do edits. While waiting in airports, cars, vans, trains, customs, hotels, soundchecks I do them. This is one of my favourites.

Already known to the public for their pop-wave sound of rich and international texture, Confield officially form on 17th March 2009 in Rome from the union of guitarists Luca Mamone and Paolo Ferrara, drummer Gabriele Maligno, bassist Alessandro Bennati and singer Gianluca Buttari. In December of the same year the band performs for their first time at the “Keep it Yours” night in Rome, sharing the stage with Ryan Jarman of The Cribs. Soon they are covered and interviewed on various radio stations (Radio 2 Rai, Radio Città Futura, Radio Popolare e Radio Città Aperta) and play in many other clubs both in Rome and across Italy.
On May 2010 their self produced EP “Confield 2010” is published (recorded and mixed by Valerio Fisik at Hombre Lobo studios in Rome and mastered by Steve Fallone at New York’s sterling studios). They are supporting band for Alex Kapranos (Franz Ferdinand) at the Brancaleone club in Rome and are chosen by Peter Hook as supporting band for the Italian tour, “An Unknown Pleasures Celebration”, in honor of Ian Curtis on the 30th anniversary of his death, and the audience’s response is highly positive.
By the end of 2010 they present their first video in anticipation of the single “Polaroid” that will be later published on 7” record, followed by a remix by LuckyBeard, on April 9 2011 for the independent label Keep It Yours. In April 2011 they are guests on Radio 2’s program “Twilight” and play a few songs on air in acoustic. In September, Sony Music publishes “Songs from freaks - The Series” a compilation for which “Polaroid” is chosen.
RBL Music Italia is currently directing the release for their first self produced full length album “Confield” (recorded and mixed by Valerio Fisik/Hombre Lobo and mastered by Mike Marsh at Exchange Studios in London.
