BC Camplight
+ British Birds
BC Camplight (Brian Christinzio) is one of the most celebrated songwriters/performers in UK independent music and his story is one of resolve and redemption. Christinzio’s 2023 album “The Last Rotation Of Earth” earned him his first Top 40 record. Subsequent touring exposed larger audiences to his breathtaking live shows. The tour culminated with his television debut, performing on Later! With Jools Holland.
Every BC Camplight album has a backstory every bit as compelling as its music.
His latest album ‘A Sober Conversation’ is no different, as virtuoso songwriter and pianist Brian Christinzio documents the last two years of his life, finally confronting a shocking childhood trauma while embracing sobriety, to create his bravest and most revealing record. It’s an enthralling, sometimes haunting quasi-concept record marked by ruthless tragic-comedic purging and sublime, intricate melody, knitting lyrical screenplays to dazzling arrangements. It is BC Camplight at the height of his remarkable powers.
British Birds
Hatched in 2023 via tape loops and cheap nylon stringed guitars, Chorley-based British Birds soar from the depths of psych-tinged melancholy to the heights of disco-doused dystopia and back. From within the precariously soundproofed walls of their inconspicuous makeshift arthouse they meticulously craft their sound; dedicating themselves to the whole craft from recording, producing and releasing their records, to screenprinting their merch.
