Bobby

VINYL FORMAT. Comes with a digital download code! Founded by Tom Greenberg during his senior year at Bennington, Bobby includes fellow classmates Julian Labat, Molly Erin Sarle (Mountain Man), Roby Moulton, Paolo Menuez and Martin Zimmerman. Shortly after graduating, the band all moved into a house together up in Montague, Massachusetts, a tiny rural hamlet hidden away in the woods with little more than a post-office and convenience store, strictly for the purpose of putting together an album. Unfettered by the distractions of civilization, and far-removed from their peers, Bobby gradually took shape in the crucible of isolation. The resulting sonic aberration was deeply suffused with the anxiety, apprehension and ultimately the joy that is the natural by-product of six minds struggling to cohere their individual creativity into a single artistic work. Bobby's sound draws inspiration from this emotional experience, but it is equally influence by the Gamelan orchestras of Indonesia, the polyrhythmic hand drumming of Yoruba, as well as artists such as Kate Bush, Bjork, Vashti Bunyan and the Books. Their eponymous debut is a lush, full spectrum exploration of frequency and timbrel layering.
