Gaps

Monster Bobby has finally got round to doing his debut album, after years in many different bands and as a musician and musical activist in Brighton and New Cross. Entitled Gaps, with a not altogether uncharacteristic irony). Much unlike his live shows, which basically involve Bobby with an acoustic guitar versus Dr. Sample, his electronic foil which seemingly also has a formidable mind of its own, the album instead features an ambitious assemblage of musicians and instrumentation (bassoon, glockenspiel, tuba, cornet for a start). The album takes the pop sensibilities for which he is well-known and a bit of the "oddball singer/songwriter", whilst channeling in the spirits of early British folk as well as the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, the groundbreaking consortium of electronic music pioneers that Bobby has extensively studied and interviewed over the years and will be essaying in the upcoming book Hauntologies.
