Daniel Ruiz: Meet the Crimson Woman at the Dawn Cafe

It appears that psychedelic pop Barcelona based musician Daniel Ruiz is not done yet with his obsession for an unnamed girl. After spotting her (or a lookalike) in his previous single A Cup Of Coffee With Two Sugar Cubes, Cream, And A Tiny Drop Of Whiskey he runs into her yet again, when he enters a basement bar.

Meet the Crimson Woman at the Dawn Cafe is slightly ominous, thanks to The Doors' inspired organ. Ruiz is obviously taking by surprise, but he slips into his storytelling voice and turned this chance meeting into an afterhours song that will be liked by Nick Cave fans.

Daniel Ruiz: A Cup Of Coffee With Two Sugar Cubes, Cream, And A Tiny Drop Of Whiskey

For his new slice of psychedelic pop Barcelona based musician Daniel Ruiz dropped his alias Weinf. A Cup Of Coffee With Two Sugar Cubes, Cream, And A Tiny Drop Of Whiskey hints a Tom Waits and Jacco Gardner.

The protagonist reminisces about a girl who used to know when he sets eyes on a woman who orders the exact same drink. He sits inside the cafe and she is on the terrace. They are separated by the window, close but miles apart. He knows it's not her, but he surely wishes it was.

Weinf: Purple Bird and Other Strange Songs

Weinf from Barcelona sounds a lot older and wiser than he actually is. He calls his songs psychedelic jazzy rock and that make sense if you are looking for the missing link between Nick Cave and Jonathan Spottiswoode. His new album Purple Bird and Other Strange Songs is a trippy affair, with occasional washes of distorted guitar, but first and foremost driven by keyboards about halfway Alan Price and Steve Winwood.

Weinf is both a balladeer and a dead serious musical jester. With songs like the bold The Absence of a God Has Made Me Free, the sexy come hither The Finest Woman I Have Ever Met and the claustrophobic Kafka On The Shore he shows his talent as a lyricists. He can wrap his criticism in poetry. It won't soften the blow of his attacks on the establishment. He has uncanny knack for swing, which his uses for both his music and his proverbial fists.
