BULBUL 6 LP qotsa-y, melvins-y, helmet-y

[celebdeath]

From Southern.net:

"15 tracks 62 minutes. A unique blend of the unexpected and the unpredictable, throwing monolithic rhythms down your throat that'll make you dance.

- This is Bulbul's sixth full-length album, taking the next step from a 10 year long history. They've also just signed to Exile On Mainstream!

- Bulbul are the stalwarts of the Austrian underground art & rock scene, having played a sheer unbelievable amount of shows and festivals in the last few years. Too many to mention.

- This album was produced by Austrian electronic music hero Patrick Pulsinger and features guest appearances by Philipp Quehenberger and Carla Bozulich.

We want to introduce you to one of the best bands around, their name is Bulbul.

If you belong to that unique population of true music lovers you'll understand why this band needs to be loved. Their musical approach is a unique blend of the unexpected and the unpredictable, throwing monolithic rhythms down your throat that make you dance. Once your legs start moving, they've already left your body, crossed the motorway, crashed straight into the roadside trees, and started cutting wood or maybe searching for small furry animals.

Bulbul incorporate pop music's superficiality as well as the structure beneath - they can annihilate the cheapest rhythm and morph it into the most virtuous and complex arrangement, all within the blink of the eye. As monstrous walls of sound channel into introspective patterns you just stand there, mouth agape while you ask yourself "how the hell this is possible and why does it feel so good?". You'll find yourself searching to categorize Bulbul with familiar band names such as Melvins, Tar, Slint, The Jesus Lizard coming to mind - these names kind of come close, but then refuse to arrive.

Welcome to the world of Bulbul! "

You can contact Jochan at http://www.rockishell.com/buy16-17.htm where they have different colour sleeves and vinyl to choose from. they have a pack available with the album, a 7" and 2 x 5" records. you can choose the sleeve colour of the 7" too.

This is a great record. QOTSA main influence, but theres Melvins, Helmet, Sabbath, even some Ween in there. Excellent stuff!
