“Destination Dusseldorf” is the brand new studio album from Scotland’s legendary Skids. The band note Europe as an ongoing inspiration for the new LP; “from the beauty of the Renaissance to the savagery of many wars, the highs and lows have been from there as an ongoing and ever evolving influence. This new album follows in the footsteps of “Days In Europa” as a celebration of friendship and shared experiences.”
The new album “Destination Dusseldorf” follows in the footsteps of “Days In Europa” as a celebration of friendship and shared experiences. The cover shows the brilliant Jospeh Beuys striding towards us from his base in Dusseldorf full of confidence and optimism believing that we can do the right thing for the people and the landscapes that surround us. He is a philosopher, an artist, but most importantly a human being, a hero who never hid from the challenges of life.
Given that we aren’t sure what (if anything anymore) we can find out after death, I really wonder what Stuart Adamson thinks of both his bands Skids and Big Country carrying on without him? The former of which now release their new album ‘Destination Dusseldorf’. Adamson was such a distinctive player its hard to imagine it without him though I’m sure guitar pedals now have a bagpipe setting that can be utilised. I mean, it’s like The Armoury Show without Richard Jobson.
“Destination Dusseldorf” – the new LP from The Skids will be officially released on Friday.
