Franz Nicolay - Marfa Lights album flac

Bath salts under basalt pillars In the darkness outside town Where the feed store was half fallen down Red paint flaked off, red leaves gone brown And the sap had all been boiled down. Feed the paw Eat the garlic raw Defend the truth of what you saw Stay above the law. We stood out in the field all night But we never saw the Marfa lights.

The Marfa lights, also known as the Marfa ghost lights, have been observed near . Route 67 on Mitchell Flat east of Marfa, Texas, in the United States.

Franz Nicolay has always been the kind of musician who can sound like he’s roaming the world in the course of a single song. In this amazing road tale he captures how it feels for a wandering artist, scrounging in the underground punk scenes of Russia and the Balkans-sleepless nights and shaky trains, see strong beer and unsavory companions–watching history turn inside out. – Rob Sheffield ( Love Is A Mixtape, Rolling Stone). If there isn’t already a shelf for Classic Punk Literature, we need to build it and stock it with Franz Nicolay. Franz Nicolay taps into the current cultural zeitgeist in the best travelogue tradition, with vivid scenes capturing the absurdities of daily life in the context of history and a deft reading of some of the most important cultural figures. Gregory Feifer, NYTimes best-selling author of Russians: The People Behind the Power.

On his third solo album, 2012's Do the Struggle, Brooklyn-based songwriter, t, and general boy about town Franz Nicolay combined elements of his wide-reaching musical résumé into a dark pastiche of textural, eclectically influenced songcraft. Haunted production from members of Dälek added a sometimes cluttered electronic edge to the album's already busy tunes, which ranged from shouty folk-punk anthems to maudlin Balkan jazz-tinged story-songs.
