Shares Final Preview Track: “Bubbles In The Gasoline


“With a freshly destroyed heart, he turns the aftermath into an end-of-the-world epic.”

 BrooklynVegan


“Bold and breathtaking... His upward creative trajectory continues with A Sober Conversation, featuring some of his most immediate songwriting to date allied to some of his darkest lyrical subject matter – offset by his trademark brand of dry humour.”  Uncut, 8/10


“A brilliant and bold record […] He has a gift for baroque pop with hints of Todd Rundgren, The Beach Boys and 10cc.” – MOJO, 4 stars ****

Virtuoso songwriter and pianist Brian Christinzio who performs as BC Camplight has released his new album A Sober Conversation today via Bella Union. Earning acclaim spanning NPR “Into Music”BrooklynVeganNorthern Transmissions, MAGNET Magazine, NMEClashDorkWhen The Horn BlowsThe Line Of Best Fit and much more, the new collection documents the last two years of his life, finally confronting a shocking childhood trauma while embracing sobriety, to create the most riveting and revealing record of his storied two decade career.


Brian describes final album preview track Bubbles In The Gasoline,” out today, as “a much-needed break.” There’s savage humour in his words, but also an upbeat state of mind. “Rather than wake up expecting something awful will happen, I’m waking up, and I don’t know what will happen, but that’s okay. I can’t keep using setbacks as excuses to extend the self-perpetuating myth that I’m prone to disaster.”

The beloved artist’s 2005 debut was backed by musicians who would eventually join The War On Drugs, who he went on to perform live with as well as guest-starring on Sharon Van Etten’s album EpicA Sober Conversation, the sometimes haunting quasi-concept record is 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. Brian shares, “I had spent 30 years being terrified to open that door, and afraid of the price I’d pay once I had. I’ve opened the door. To some extent this album is what was on the other side. I hope it helps me but this album is also for everyone that is having trouble finding their bravery, finding themselves.”


BC Camplight has an extensive fall UK/EU tour featuring his biggest headline shows to date including performances at the Roundhouse in London and the O2 Apollo in Manchester. All dates and tickets are available here.
