John Blek & The Broken Strings release new single ‘The City Sleeps’
In July 2022 Blek was commissioned to write a suite of songs about the city of Dresden by the Saxony Cultural Department. The resulting compositions were then recorded at the beautiful Castle Studios in the countryside just outside Dresden with German musicians Filip Sommer (Viola) and Moritz Brümmer (Cello). These recording form John’s forthcoming 6 track EP, “Digressions #3 – In Dresden”, due for release in early 2023.
The City Sleeps is the first song to come from this new record. It is an ode to the vibrant nightlife of Dresden’s Neustadt district. It’s stunning cobbled streets drenched in history and its relaxed atmosphere. It’s a place where the neons hum peacefully and the tobacco smoke hangs in the evening air.
The City Sleeps will be released by Bigger River Recording Co. on all digital platforms on Friday 20th of October.
