Kyoto - Venetian Blinds

〰️ STR12-026 https://www.discogs.com/Kyoto-3-Zoe-S... https://stroomtv.bandcamp.com/album/v... (1984) D. D'Haese/ L. Duerinck/ G. De Decker/ B. De Bruyn Venetian Blinds, bound to be partly closed for eternity, offer a glimpse into a miniature of trompe-l’oeil and deceitful appearances. Time sometimes lets truth leak. Due to some obscure little schemes your name was never mentioned: Belinda de Bruyn, you sung with a glacial voice, shaping fantasies with surgical mastery. You were young, inexperienced, and very angry and deceived – and Kyoto’s song became a lone pop hit that never reached the charts. In the paranoid era that bred it, it should have. It has to. Give this ode to consenting voyeurism a second chance. Get the one you love a bouquet of black painted roses, this record and a venomous kiss.
