No Balance Palace

Rock band Kashmir is attracting the ears of more than just the average rock-n-roller these days. Two of the most important figures in the history of the genre, David Bowie and Lou Reed, have lent their voices to the band's newest album No Balance Palace, that is the follow up to the much praised Zitilites. Bowie teams up with lead singer Kasper Eistrup for a duet on 'The Cynic', while ex-Velvet Underground front man Lou Reed reads an Eistrup poem on the 'Black Building' track. According to Kashmir's label, the agreement with Bowie fell into place when Eistrup met him at a concert in New York. Bowie was familiar with Kashmir and offered to lend his efforts to the new album. Kashmir's first single from the album, 'The Curse of Being a Girl' has already been released. Columbia. 2005.
