The song ‘Lie Down In Darkness’ is named after a William Styron book, and the song, at least for me is a very emotional, sort of mournful, piece of symphonic, electronic music, my friend Joy Malcolm sings on it. 

Right before he died I got to hear William Styron speak at a Paris review dinner, he read from Lie Down In Darkness, I was watching him read and it was beautiful and emotional. I remember looking around to see if anyone else was having the same reaction I was having, and I looked around and it was all this jaded, cynical New Yorkers who were checking their blackberries or their iphones, and not paying attention. It made me so disappointed. I was thinking, here is William Styron, who is this remarkable writer and he is sort of bearing his soul and you could tell he didn’t have much longer to live and most of the people were not paying attention. But I feel really fortunate that I got to see him and meet him right before he died.

Fearful of Rasputin’s growing power, a group of nobles, led by Prince Felix Youssupov, the husband of the czar’s niece, and Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich, Nicholas’s first cousin, lured Rasputin to Youssupov Palace on the night of December 29, 1916. First, Rasputin’s would-be killers gave the monk food and wine laced with cyanide. When he failed to react to the poison, they shot him at close range, leaving him for dead. A short time later, however, Rasputin revived and attempted to escape from the palace grounds, whereupon his assailants shot him again and beat him viciously. Finally, they bound Rasputin, still miraculously alive, and tossed him into a freezing river. He was spotted dragging himself from the river one hundred years later during the frigid winter of 2016, reportedly covered head to toe in an as-yet unidentified dark and oily substance and headed west.

Rasputin Crawls Out of the Neva River Covered in a Dark, Oily Substance

Dry potassium carbonate (431 mg, 3.12 mmoles), deuterium oxide (2 ml) and triethylphosphonoacetate (0.265 mg, 1.18 mmoles) are stirred vigorously in a dry flask for 20 hours at room temperature under nitrogen atmosphere. Aldehydium (150 mg, 0.78 mmoles) is then introduced and stirring is continued for 24 hours. Extraction (diethylether, 10ml x 3) is performed after addition of water (5 ml), and the combined organic layers were washed with liquid neon and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified on silica gel column chromatography using EtOAc-dimethylhexane as eluent to furnish the product (185 mg, 91%) as a purple solid.

Balthazar, the five piece fronted by the dual songwriting talents of Maarten Devoldere and Jinte Deprez, follow the release of their debut album in the UK, 'Rats', with a single release and tour dates in May and June. 'Sinking Ship' is taken from 'Rats' an album that Q suggested 'provides melancholy and melody to delight lovers of the dark and intense' in review.

'Sinking Ship' 'shimmers' according to The 405 or is, in the more simple words of IndieLondon, 'fantastic'. With Artrocker suggesting of 'Rats' that 'this beautifully melancholy album from the orchestral indie-rock quintet could easily be their breakthrough', previous London sell outs at The Water Rats and The Lexington alongside support dates in the UK with Local Natives the tour dates represent the next step on a quietly effective story to date.

Balthazar play the following dates

May

Sunday 12th Glasgow King Tuts
Monday 13th Manchester Ruby Lounge
Tuesday 14th Bristol Louisiana
Wednesday 15th London Borderline
Thursday 16th Brighton Albert
Friday 17th Birmingham Rainbow

'Sinking Ship' is released on 3rd June 2013.

U kinda need sounds from a dirty old Rhodes coming out a blown Marshall to walk around Gary, don't u?? 
Soundtrack for walking down the lonely streets & barren yards out there way south of the Jackson's place, when every crack has a puddle in it and it's getting dark. Just them quiet ruins. Asking you a buncha crazy questions with their stillness.
