Profiltekst

Danish indie pop collective team up with Paul Schroeder on second album ................................................................................................................................. Didium & the Black Bonnie Picture started out in Denmark back in 2006 as a 7 piece act with a setup resembling Dexies Midnight Runners' and their characteristic blend of violin and saxophone. Members of the band have come and gone throughout the years. The setup however, remains unchanged and gives the band a special style of playing pop music at its best. 24 year old songwriter Didium's dark baritone tells stories of loss, loneliness, lust and love with an undercurrent twist of irony giving the stories a life of their own .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... The band released their first album in the beginning of 2009 in Denmark and the Benelux countries. This year their follow up "A Valley" will come out worldwide. "A Valley" is produced by British producer/engineer Paul Schroeder (Stone Roses, Talk Talk) and comes out in May as the first release on Schroeder's own indie record label Sureleaf .................................................................................................................................. WORLDWIDE RELEASE - 01/05/2010 .................................................................................................................................. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ....................................................................................................................................... A VALLEY - nyt album ude 1 maj 2010! .................................................................................................................................. Andet album fra Didium & the Black Bonnie Picture udkommer i foråret 2010 på det britiske label, Sureleaf. Albummet er produceret af bandet selv og Paul Schroeder (Stone Roses) og lukker op for en ny side af det syv mand store musikalske kollektiv .................................................................................................................................. "Målet med plade nummer to for mit vedkommende, som sangskriver, har hele tiden været at lave et mere rendyrket rock album end debuten. Hvor "Whimsical Beauty" var mit bud på en anti-modern pop plade, er "A Valley" en ganske anden historie, fortalt i et langt mere hæsblæsende tempo end vi ellers har forsøgt os med" - siger frontmand Didium om opfølgeren ............................................................................................................................................ - "A VALLEY" følges op af turnéer herhjemme, samt England, Tyskland, Holland, Belgien.

WHIMSICAL BEAUTY - REVIEWS .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Poprock.nl, Holland * * * * * * * (* * *) - "The production of the album is great. The tracks are varied, happy, superfluous, tightly composed and arranged. In fact there are no real complaints about 'Whimsical Beauty'." .................................................................................................................................. The Rock and Roll Report, UK * * * * * * * * * (*) - "The ‘picture’ painted by this highly creative piece is a magnificent ride through the fairground of magically blend of indie rock and pop styles, so unique to Didium and his Black Bonnie Picture.... a true work of art..." ................................................................................................................................. Diskant, Denmark * * * * * * * (* * *) - "They write songs that are as catchy as Razorlight's. They have the arch English expression of The Kooks - and then they have the alternativeness and inventive instrumentation of a long list of alternative indie rock bands." ................................................................................................................................ Heaven, Holland * * * (* *) - "... a good, flexible and excessive voice, excellent and varied songs and an excellent band" .................................................................................................................................. Århus Stifttidende, Denmark * * * * (* *) - "A well done piece of work that surprises with promising creativity and originality." .................................................................................................................................. Gaffa, Denmark * * * * (* *) - "Didium & the Black Bonnie Picture have great musical ambitions, and come out on the other side surprisingly safe and sound ..." .................................................................................................................................. Festivalinfo, Holland * * * * (*) - "...a lot of joy and ambition to be heard on this debut album, which comes out very well thanks to the excellent production." .................................................................................................................................. ..................................................................................................................................
