Stanley Brinks - 'Stanley Brinks'

Having toured and recorded all over under different guises ranging from Ben Dope to Klaus Bong to John Andreas, this former member of the French anti-Folk Human Dune trio has done it again: step forward the now Berlin-based Stanley Brinks. New single ‘Fox Trot’ is dark and broody, lurching forward like the pissed fall guy in a 1950s crime caper; Brinks’ lyrics are exquisite, slowly painting his story with effortless flamboyance ("My father was a doctor but he played the guitar/On the day that you are born you know who you are"). He states his intentions: "The only thing I learnt was what no-one said to me/You better live now and stop getting ready." The results could prove intriguing.
