David Sylvian Matters

The year 1999 was momentous on many levels, especially in music. David Sylvian, the unforgettable voice that illustrated “Forbidden Colours”, composed by Ryuichi Sakomoto for the motion picture’s soundtrack, Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence, was about to release a remarkable collection of new material.

You may know him as the ex-Japan singer or recall his collab work with the legendary Robert Fripp? This interview presents a man worthy of tremendous applause beyond the indie world he’s spent the better part of his music career percolating in.

David Sylvian is, arguably, one of the best singer/ songwriters of his age. Listen to this unedited interview, stream or replay, Dead Bees on a Cake, and then tell me otherwise. His ability to conjugate and articulate the elegance of his compositions and layer introspective, heartfelt, and confident lyrics makes him extraordinary. Enjoy.
