Amok

The Late BP Helium is the alter ego of Bryan Poole, who has spent the last eight years playing bass with bands like Great Lakes, Elf Power, and Of Montreal. With the release of his first solo album, Amok, BP strikes out on his own. Amok is all over the map; an intoxicating blend of 1970's styled rockers, avantgarde jams, and straight up poppy goodness. The album kicks off with a jagged, spastic horn-fueled attackand next comes, a poppy, Kinks inspired track filled with melody and charm and then the album just gets more diverse from there, with funky sing alongs, extended Kraut rock jams, and ending with a ripping post punk rocker that includes a baroque, orchestral interlude. Crazy!
