Edward Ka-Spel - Alas My Shrunken Head
Edward Ka-Spel - Alas My Shrunken Head Tube. Duration : 9.07 Mins.
Edward Ka-Spel (born Edward Francis Sharp, 23 January 1954 in London) is an expatriate English singer, songwriter and musician residing in the Netherlands. Ka-Spel is probably best known as the lead singer, songwriter and co-founder (with Phil "The Silverman" Knight) of the prolific underground band The Legendary Pink Dots, in which he was initially known as D'Archangel.He has also released numerous solo albums (initially featuring other members of the Legendary Pink Dots, and later including contributions from Steven Stapleton),and has worked in various side projects, including The Tear Garden (with cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy),and Mimir (with Phil Knight, Christoph Heemann, Jim O'Rourke and others). His musical output has combined elements of psychedelia, dark folk, goth, industrial, electronic, found noise, sampling, pop and rock in varying degrees. His lyrics have been described as intensely personal and mystical, incorporating recurrent themes from his own personal mythos, and his songwriting and singing have been compared (usually favourably) to Syd Barrett and early Pink Floyd.Ka-Spel is a fan of 70's psychedelia as well as Radiohead. His manner of dress is peculiar. He is rarely seen without wearing a long scarf and either pink or black sunglasses both on and off stage. Earlier on in his career, Ka spel drew black lines on his face and arms, which Phil Knight has referred to as "his cracks," presumably as they resemble the cracked lines in a crumbling statue.
