Cock Robin: Songs From A Bell Tower (2CD)

Cock Robin were one of THE cult bands of the 80s. Especially in Europe, the band celebrated great success with the singles "When Your Heart Is Weak" (1985), "The Promise You Made" (1986) and "Just Around the Corner" (1987).
Their album "Songs From a Bell Tower" was written entirely by Peter Kingsbery. Lyrically similarly dark and melancholy as in the New Wave past, pop songs alternate with earthy rock numbers. Instead of synth sounds, unusual, hand-made compositions with guitars, drums, strings, heavy piano chords and, of course, the concise voices of Kingsbery and his female counterpart Anna Lacazio are in the foreground.
