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.
Radio Land feat Jim Kerr
The Dark Flowers - Radio Land feat Jim Kerr. "The Dark Flowers is a musical project by Paul Statham who also wrote the music of Lostboy! AKA's Return Of The King. (Paul has a number of tracks that are almost certain to feature on the next LBAKA album). I admire Paul's music very much and love the idea behind The Dark Flowers. To date I think I have written/sung on six songs with Dark Flowers. More to come. Please visit and support Dark Flowers". - Jim.
