Here is a new release that I am loving. Definitely ‘Marmite’ though
This is one of two tracks both around 20mins that make up the release. Described as ‘hardcore lullabies’. Each takes a short song by underground punkish band ‘Lungfish’ (about whom I know nothing) and extends it into a repetitive, mesmeric and circular version lead by the BPB’s voice and embellished subtly as they progress by additional accompaniment. The lyrics are obscure but the origin story (see the Bandcamp page and other reviews) is rather nice as Salsburg started off playing the repetitive figures as a lullaby with one hand whilst rocking his baby to sleep with the other.
It is on Tidal/Bandcamp/Qobuz etc.
BPB is a fairly eccentric artist, but a taste I have definitely acquired. His solo output is varied, and collaborations wide. I can try to help anyone interested in his large back catalogue.
If just floats the boat of one person I’ll be happy. Many will hate it!
I stopped looking at 7Digital a while back as they never seemed to have what I wanted. I paid full whack at Bandcamp. I’m unsure if their funding model remains better for artists since the takeover.
