Pale Male
Thursday, October 12 at 18:00 in Austrian Cultural Forum (Hodžovo Námestie 1/A)
New school meets old school. Pale Male brings "bedroom production" to the stage. The album "I've been away" shows what the Pale Male project is all about. Playful vibrations that suggest change and at the same time evoke the feeling of relaxed nights. Jazz is stylistically combined here with hip-hop and neo soul.
The album as a whole represents a kind of emotional portrait - the face of our time, which is sometimes sharp, sometimes blurry, sometimes a little lost.
