The eccentric and eclectic David J needs little introduction. The former Bauhaus and Love & Rockets bassist/vocalist has done it all, from photography, music, to theatre, in truth he is a jack-of-all-trades.
Now coming back to his first love, David will release NOT LONG FOR THIS WORLD, due out October 18 via Starry Records.
Marking the rockstar’s eighth album as a solo artist and first proper solo album since 2003, this work shows that he is limitless in his craft and continues creating works that push the boundaries of the musical status quo. With little effort this album reaches the most secret crevasses of your mind and soul and turns them into a dark, celebratory soiree from another realm that makes your quiver all over.
Not Long For This World is a collection of eulogies, elegies, epitaphs and swan songs for lost loves, the dear departed and future departees including, inevitably, one's self. Let's now dance whilst the candle still burns bright!,” says David J
And who else better than his pupils Smashing Pumpkins mastermind William Patrick Corgan and Kerry Brown, to help release this beautifully crafted album.
“I grew up in awe of David J's band Bauhaus for their unique approach to music,” says Corgan, “David J in his own right has never stopped pushing forward.
NOT LONG FOR THIS WORLD is smoldered in rich gothic cabaret-inspired themes. The essence flowing through this album is fusion of a deep maturation, and curious childlike creativity that brand his everlasting whimsical style.
The black duke’s multi-dimensional career began with goth legends Bauhaus. Since Bauhaus disbanded, DAVID has released seven albums with Love & Rockets, seven solo albums, and several solo EPs, among others,
