BC Camplight - Blink of A Nihilist

BC Camplight lives in the mind of twenty something Brian Christinzio, a mind unique to the modern songwriting world and gifted enough to follow his 2005 breakthrough, the frighteningly beautiful and humorously twisted debut Hide, Run Away, with a record that sets a new standard, Blink Of A Nihilist released May 14th on One Little Indian Records. Christinzio's inflective vocals and the beguiling backing of Stephanie Vernacchio, carry the record through euphoric, leftfield pop (Suffer For Two, Scare Me Sweetly) to the awkwardly personal (I’ve Got A Bad Cold, Soy Tonto!) through to what can only be described as something uniquely special (Lord, I’ve Been On Fire, The Hip And The Homeless).“I wanted to change the way people felt, not the way they dressed" - Blink Of A Nihilist is an album that should do just that. It stands tall as a record that proves the relevance of pop music to all of us, and acts out a statement of deeply personal intent for ours, and Brian’s, troubled times. Its eccentricities include both heart-tugging compositions and boisterously upbeat, synth-driven tunes and complicated musical arrangements which still manage to retain their humour and modesty. The record is not a simplistic one, but like most things worth your time and effort, the end result is something worth truly holding on to.
