Adalberto Abbate designs cover for Baustelle's new single Lili Marleen
Palermo-based artist Adalberto Abbate created the artwork for Baustelle's new single Lili Marleen, available for free download on the Tuscan rock band's website. The cover depicts a contemporary girl with closed eyes, wearing a balaclava as a symbol of rebellion against the senselessness of violence and war. The imagery connects conceptually to Abbate's Rivolta series, begun in 2009, with this cover being its latest piece. The song references Paris and poetically evokes artists Guillaume Apollinaire, Jacques Prévert, and Joseph Kosma. The single anticipates but will not be part of Baustelle's upcoming album. A music video directed by :absent accompanies the track.
