About this product
Each song on Bayonne's Drastic Measures is orchestral in texture, unfolding in countless layers and kaleidoscopic tones. With great intensity of detail, the Austin-based artist otherwise known as Roger Sellers deepens that sonic complexity by weaving in elegantly warped samples of the field recordings he's gathered for over a decade. But in it's powerful melodies and pristine arrangements, Drastic Measures ultimately bears a pure pop lucidity even in it's most grandiose moments. Throughout the album, Sellers matches his bursts of experimentation with the graceful piano playing he's honed since he was a little kid. By his early 20s he'd discovered minimalist composers like Steve Reich and Terry Reilly, which led him to infuse an atmospheric, ethereal quality into much of his work. With the of Primitives in spring 2016, Sellers adopted the moniker of Bayonne as a way to distinguish his more electronically crafted output from his other musical projects. Id been playing a lot of shows with a very folk-based set, so using a different name was a way to separate those two personalities, he explains. In bringing Drastic Measures to life, Sellers merged his increasingly classic-pop-inspired sensibilities with a production approach closely focused on looping, layering, and overdubbing. Even if you hear something simple like clapping or finger snaps, it's probably layered 10 or 20 times, he says. I just like to stack and layer everything to get these big sounds, and create a really wide sonic space within the songs.

2012 , the second album from the Bloomington, Indiana-based Psych/Garage/Alt-Rock band. Magically combining bubblegum pop and heavy guitar jams sauced with a blue collar Midwestern sensibility while still maintaining the best elements of Ohio Express or 1910 Fruitgum Company's silliness, Apache Dropout reveal a poppy-laced reality and a warped sense of rage over an oppressively flat and banal landscape - not to mention fortune telling candy bars and Undead Jughead too!
White Vinyl. Set for on May 13th via Communion Records, the album sees the much-loved folk-rock duo - made up of Andrew Davie and Kevin Jones - once again team up with producer Ian Grimble on what is one of their most personal records to date.Davie says InchBlue Hours is a kind of imaginary space you get into at night, a place where you process difficult things or where you try to figure everything out.Inch Themes on the album include both self-reflection and mental health after both struggled with the latter in recent years. InchIt's the main over-arching theme with this record,Inch Davie explains. The group, who have worked with mental health charity CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) previously added InchIt probably speaks to our struggles and hopefully many other people's too. Men are not very good at talking. We're not really taught how to - men have no idea how to talk about this stuff, certainly to each other.InchThe pair describe the conceptual blue hours headspace that gives the new album it's title as being Inchsomewhere between a hotel, a mental health hospital, a bar that stays open later than anywhere else, a paradise, a dream, a nightmare and an endless sea of corridors and staircases leading you to rooms that represent memories - good, bad, happy or difficult.Inch Despite the album's challenging themes, it's an album drenched in hope too. InchWe wanted this to be a celebration of music,Inch Jones continues. InchI think that informed some of the bolder decision making on this record. At a time when music was so distant, it felt important to make an album that sounded hopeful, celebratory, ambitious and beautiful in spite of the heavy subject matter in some of the songs.Inch Jones adds InchIt was almost like we needed to shout louder than before because we felt that there were more barriers between the audience and us.
