Blake/e/e/e

Based out of Chicago, Illinois, Blake/e/e/e (pronounced "Blake-ie") is a new project started by two ex-members of the Italian band Franklin Delano half relocated to Chicago. Their debut album, Border Radio, has been released in the US May 20, 2008 on FreeFolk Records. The band has embarked on a six weeks long U.S. tour right after and gained attention. In the meanwhile, a deal with Unhip Records, a bigger label based out of their homeland of Bologna, has been inked. A Europe/Japan release date will soon be announced, and the band will be touring Europe early after. Border Radio is nothing but explosive. Dressed in a folky salsa, it transforms all along its length. From weird dub to house folk celestial, from Sixties candies and psychedelic space ballads to post-punk creepy anthems. From world ethnic spirituals to alt. Country, filled with drones and bones. It's Beach Boys going to church where the church becomes a mutant disco, astral instrumental, howling at the shooting stars. A self-produced kaleidoscope of new musical ideas makes Border Radio both elegant and experimental.
