"WALTER AND THE BENJAMINS" (PAST AND PRESENT): MANUEL DORDIO, NUNO LUCAS, JOÃO CORREIA (JOCA), BRUNO PERNADAS, FERNANDO MARTINS, CHRISTIAN SCHIESSLER, BERNARDO FACHADA.
"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

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 :/.
I wish in you kind regards for your future to be shaped by positive change and awareness. Love and Light,
