Charlie Nieland Stories from the Borderlands

Charlie Nieland
Shame
New York City

Famous for being consistently good, the songwriting and performance skills of Charlie Nieland give him ample advantage on the New York music scene. He’s been fronting his own band for a while now, and he’s also worked with artists like Blondie, Scissor Sisters, and Rufus Wainwright. He takes the ethos garnered from the 80s and 90s guitar and synth fusion adventure, where traditional rock n roll meets atmosphere and mirage. As the journey has taken turns and directions into dream pop and industrial hardcore alike, Charlie has maintained the original idea that good songs come from good bands. A deeply personal and movingly sentimental album is out now, Stories from the Borderlines takes on the weight of the world one song at a time. One such number is today’s feature. This is Shame.

It opens with a steady uphill lift into verses. The drums begin to pump in a rhythmic backbone and chords shimmy across the bars. The vocals pick up the thread and suddenly the band springs to life. A crash of cymbals and full chord progressions merges with a Rolling Stones style lyrical delivery that swaggers and struts along the syllables and sentences. Classic rock feels and swirling effects form a point of light that shoots off into the distance, carrying us on the wings of emotion.
