Gloom Balloon and Christopher the Conquered
to release new albums via Grand Phony Music on Sept. 25th
Gloom Balloon’s Patrick Tape Fleming lists no less than 32 instruments attributed to
himself (including Static Electricity, Box of Bulbs, and of course, Balloons)
in the liner notes of the upcoming So Bergman Uses Bach To Get His Point
Across, I Feel Like I Have Chosen Rock But At What A Cost, before going
on to rattle off another 22 participants in this recording. At a time when we
as a people are isolated, and artists are making recordings that reflect
isolation, Gloom Balloon’s latest (Grand Phony, Sept. 25th) sounds
communal, and that’s needed. [READ MORE HERE]
“There is something deeply off about everything that’s happening here and I’m 100% sold,” says Brightest
Young Things about Christopher the
Conquered. “You know Garfield, he’s a cartoon cat, you got a
telephone in the shape of his body yeah, but you don’t pick it up! Why don’t
you pick it up? Pick it up!,” sings Christopher Ford aka Christopher the Conquered, offering a confirmation of “deeply off,”
and revealing the sense of humor that lets his performances go way off into
outer space without ever failing to remain grounded in truth. New album I Am
Christopher arrives via Grand
Phony on Sept. 25th. [READ MORE HERE]
