Day 43 - Nico - Desertshore (1970)


"Desertshore" is Nico's third album and the fourth album of hers i've listened to. I've loved Nico for a number of years now. When I first heard her music in "The Royal Tenenbaums" I thought her voice was awful and her music was a joke. I then listened to her first album "Chelsea Girls" at my brother's insistence and fell in love with it. Nico's voice is haunting and lovely. On this album she was firmly entrenched in her goth rock and the songs are spooky and interesting. My favourite is "Afraid", it's the most beautiful ballad Nico ever wrote and one of my favourite songs. I give this album 5/5.

Tracks I enjoyed the most: Janitor Of Lunacy, The Falconer, My Only Child, Afraid & All That Is My Own.
