New York based one man project, BL_NK SP_C_S is set to release his debut album on the fledgling You Records label on the 2nd of June 2014.
‘Memory Man’,
recorded with producer Martin Dubka (Aeroplane / Kitsune), features ten tracks
including the recent critically acclaimed and BBC 6Music, XFM and Amazing
Radio endorsed download single ‘The
Great Shark Hunt’. A special video single of the ‘Memory Man’ track, which was inspired by David Bowie's 'The Man Who Fell To Earth' and
Maya Deren's classic 'Meshes Of The Afternoon' short, can be viewed here;
BL_NK SP_C_S began
making his own take on electronic pop music last year and records everything on
tape in his bedroom based analogue studio. His synth laden melodies, krautrock
guitars and pop sensibilities draw influence from Eno, Neu, Morricone and The
The, but there is something truly new and exciting about his sound. Soaring and
uplifting there are too may highlights to mention, but album opener ‘A Parting Gift’, ‘Sneaking Back In’,
‘No Sleep’, ‘Start’, Heavy The Lay The Crown’ and the eponymous
album title track are as diverse and catchy as any great songs you will hear
this year and beyond.
