The Dark Flowers
The Dark Flowers - Blue eyes are Cheating feat Jim Kerr.
The Dark Flowers came into being after musician/writer Paul Statham read Motel Chronicles by Sam Shepard while listening to The Hired Hand soundtrack album by Bruce Langhorne, from the 1970's film of the same name. The desire to set the sentiments of Shepard's book (abstract tales of misfits, love loss and desert heat!) to the haunting western sounds became a starting point. This was further mutated by his love of Brian Eno’s Another Green World and the featured singers/lyricist’s talents to take these simple ideas and twist them into a bizarre reality. The featured vocalists so far include Jim Kerr, Dot Allison, Peter Murphy, Shelly Poole, Helicopter Girl, Remi Roughe and Kate Havnevik.
