More about the band : A Permanent Shadow is more than just a band; it's a musical journey led by the enigmatic CP Fletcher. With a rotating cast of talented musicians and producers, Fletcher has created a unique and ever-evolving sound. Before forming A Permanent Shadow, Fletcher was a drummer in various bands that never quite made it. But inspired by the legendary David Bowie's passing, he decided to step out from behind the drum kit and take center stage as a singer. His first venture as a frontman was a tribute project dedicated to the iconic Lou Reed, aptly named The Magic and Loss Orchestra. Fletcher's admiration for the New York curmudgeon runs deep, and it didn't take long for the tribute experience to seep into A Permanent Shadow.
Their debut album, "Songs of Loss," featured a reworked version of Reed's "Sword of Damocles," paying homage to the late musician's legacy. While A Permanent Shadow welcomes various collaborators, there are two musicians who have been a constant presence on all their recordings. Albert Català, a classically trained piano player, lends his expertise to help shape the demos into polished masterpieces. And when it comes to adding the final touches in the studio, renowned producer Valentí Nieto is the go-to guy. Together, Fletcher, Català, and Nieto have created two incredible albums, "Songs of Loss" (2019) and "Humdrum" (2022), as well as an EP titled "UnderCover" (2022) and a brand new single. These projects showcase the undeniable chemistry and talent that exists within A Permanent Shadow. So, if you're looking for a band that defies categorization and constantly pushes the boundaries of their sound, look no further than A Permanent Shadow. With their ever-changing lineup and unwavering passion for music, they are sure to captivate your ears and leave a lasting impression.
