专辑简介

Old Jerusalem is a project led by the Portuguese musician Francisco Silva. After a few concerts and appearances on several compilations, Old Jerusalem released in January 2003 its debut album, “April”, through the small Portuguese independent label Bor Land. Since then Old Jerusalem has maintained a steady level of activity, between concerts, new releases – “Twice the humbling sun” (2005), the split-EP “Splitted” (2006) with Puny and Bruno Duarte, “The temple bell” (2007) and, more recently, “Two birds blessing” (2009) – and collaborations with other artists, not only as a musician (The Unplayable Sofa Guitar, Green Machine, The Neon Road, among others), but also as a writer, having worked on this level with artists as diverse as Carlos Bica, Bernardo Sassetti, Alla Polacca, Mandrágora and Kubik. "Old Jerusalem" the album is the fifth album release by Francisco Silva, and unveils a more intimate side of Old Jerusalem, being more of a solo album rather than a band album. It foregrounds the songwriting, melodies and lyrics that have made Old Jerusalem one of Portugal's best kept secrets.
