‘Twisted Cabaret Volume 1’s’ goal is to unite some of the most important modern artists who are using, altering or diverting the codes and rules of Weimar Cabaret. The time when burlesque, darkness and comedy appeared in Cabarets is now ended, but its legacy and influence on some modern artists is still prevalent, particularly when times are unkind to satire and auto derision.
Each in their musical style, the selected artists revive a polemic that opposes the standardization of, the mind, customs and way of life. Far from the popular comic cliché or excessive glamour, Twisted Cabaret sets out to be at the same time poetic and thoughtful. Uniting well known artists as ‘The Residents’, ‘The Legendary Pink Dots’ or ‘The Dresden Dolls’, Twisted Cabaret Vol.1 also introduces emergent artists of this genre, where the “Packaging” is as important as the content.
As well as having rich and qualitative content(s), we have also favoured an esthetical mix of old iconography, but with a modern style.
Two versions will be available: a regular digipack audio CD and a Deluxe Edition which will include the regular audio CD, plus an additional DVD of music videos and live performances of the artists presenting the other sides of their work.
