Dandelions

Pumpkin Thierry It is a great pleasure to listen to this album. There is a very heavy folk background, a singer with a warm and powerful voice, an irresistible bluesy groove, and post-punk intonations. Comparisons are always hazardous but I think BLACK TOSKA is not so far from VIOLENT FEMMES to whom a big sound would have been given. Favorite track: A Gloomy Dawn.
Weirdo Shrine

Weirdo Shrine Black Toska’s sound is very atmospheric. It has that serial killer blues vibe that should get them on the next Peaky Blinders soundtrack. The galloping drums, the threatening subdued songwriting style, and the caustic vocals all paint a haunting picture. This is a band you should probably see in black and white, in a sweat soaked bar somewhere rural, with too much whiskey and endless beer bottles flying all around. Favorite track: Love of Mine.

He wasn't old but he never was young before When the other kids were just playing with their toys He was drawing symbols on the ground with a splintered rotten bone Rotten bone he stole from the haunt of a rabbid dog Oh darling! Why didn't I listen to you this time? Oh Oh darling! Why didn’t I listen to you this time? She feels so strong but she is seventy years old When the other elderly ladies go to church She goes drawing symbols on the ground with a splintered rotten bone Rotten bone she stole from the haunt of a rabbid dog Oh darling Why didn't I listen to you this time? Oh Oh darling Why didn’t I listen to you this time?

Grey Shadows 02:01
A conversation is flowing You try to light my flames Some of the words are coming Some others sound cliche Can feel the liquor down my throat Burning the statements that I prepared A conversation is flowing Please come and light my flames Don't judge me for my shadows Or look me through the grey Don't you realice you've got grey shadows as well Don't judge me for my shadows Or look me through the grey Don't you realice you've got grey shadows as well Don't judge me for my shadows Or look me through the grey Don't you realice you've got grey shadows as well

Dandelions 02:04
Dandelions flying at the mercy of winds An anthelion is dressing the sky with its sweet majesty A mycelion is growing slow and silently A peculiar fungus parasites a living insect Dots, humans are like dots Lines are made of dots Of a line of lies Butterfly meconium on a card box bottom Kids kidnnapping life playing like they were Gods God, children playing God We are just like gods on a line of flies Of a line of lies Of a line of lies

about

Black Toska Madrid, Spain

/ˈtō-skə/
"At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody of something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness"

Vladimir Nabokov.
