Daniele Perrino presents new album “The Soot Songs”. Music on this album is a blues-infused musical work, solely crafted, composed, and performed by Daniele Perrino, imbued with noir atmospheres. Summoning the melancholic tones of Leonard Cohen and the narrative ambiguity of Tom Waits, it draws the listener into a dark and captivating world.
Its haunting melodies and evocative lyrics paint images of deserted streets, smoky bars, and Bukowskian tales of damnation. With a unique blend of nostalgia and disillusionment, The Soot Songs captures the essence of the human experience in all its complexity and rawness. The new chapter with different blues, nu soul and noir jazz flavors, is published by Blue Mama Records, distributed by The Orchard / Sony and supported by A-Z Press promotion office.
Daniele Perrino himself describes his work as follow: “The name The Soot Songs is about the burning in our souls. The resulting blaze creates a metaphorical soot which partly settles and partly hovers. Which do we need more? What has settled or our freedom? Maybe they both depend on each other.”
