   About Walter Benjamin (is still alive)

"Acompanhado pelo amigo Baga, Walter Benjamin vai-se afastando das baladas choninhas." - Nuno Catarino, Bodyspace

"A certa altura, há um acesso de alegria pop chamado “Soldiers”. Sabe bem, mas dura pouco (46 segundos, mais precisamente) e ao efeito- -relâmpago da surpresa segue-se novo bocejo." - Catarina Sacramento, Time Out Magazine

"Experimentem; a proximidade suscitada pelo indie-folk de Walter Benjamim, é absolutamente cativante; de um intimismo às vezes assustador." - Blog A Trompa

"These are beautifully written delicate songs, crowded with weeping melodies, sounding melancholic and sad, even though sometimes they shine as much as a nice Summer day." - http://musicplpt.blogspot.com/

"De Walter Benjamin já conhecemos dois bons registos a título individual, um curto EP The Dog Follows the Bull (2007) e um bonito álbum The National Crisis (2008), ambas edições da entretanto extinta Merzbau. Os dois discos mostram baladas indies bem desenhadas, cançonetas frágeis, bonitas. Sozinho, guitarra e pouco mais, Benjamin (de nome verdadeiro Luís Nunes) mostra canções como “Cannonball” ou “Like Jackson Pollock”, que justificam a atenção de um público alargado." - Nuno Catarino, Bodyspace.net


WALTER BENJAMIN
Walter Benjamin is a songwriter and a lousy singer! - NEW RECORD SOMETIME IN 2010

There is also a German philosopher called Walter Benjamin... but he commited suicide on his way to Portugal STOP Walter Benjamin (the songwriter) was born in Portugal during the spring on the same day as Bob Dylan. A different year though. Dylan is getting kind of old now. STOP But he is still cool. STOP Walter Benjamin is young and lives in London. STOP He released one EP (The dog follows the bull) and one album (The national crisis) STOP you can download them for free at www.merzbau-label.org STOP He also recorded one EP called "Ice cream and swinging lettuce" together with Baga STOP Baga and Walter also play in a band STOP The band is called Jesus, the Misunderstood STOP Miguel and Manel are the two other members of this band STOP It's great that you kept reading this crap STOP Walter Benjamin has a beard STOP And he's recording a new album STOP It's not going to be a big hit anyway STOP Love

Nem quero imaginar, se aqui está frio, aí ainda mais frio deve estar. Mas oh pá, tu estás basicamente numa das cidades que mais cultura tem em todo o mundo. Eu estou a pensar em ir aí no próximo ano, deve ser espectacular. Tenho imensa pena que não estejas cá, ando a organizar um ciclo de música lá na faculdade e queria imenso que lá fosses :/.
