    • Housed in a 6-panel 350g cardboard gatefold digifile (sturdier than the current British cabinet)
    • Perfect for those who like their political commentary portable and polished

When the going gets tough, the tough go camping... with a full orchestra!

Bivouac - Nick Frater's 11th studio album and first foray into musical forestry:

  • 23 tracks of woodland whimsy and political punchlines
  • More collaborators than a Tory leadership contest
  • Proof that you can fight the power with perfect pop melodies

Musical Highlights:

  • Bacharach meets Tillbrook in a McCartney-esque meadow
  • Roger Joseph Manning Jr. (Beck/Jellyfish) sprinkles some Beck-dust
  • Luke Smith (Ulysses) and Joe Kane (The Poppermost) join the woodland jam
  • Authentic Radiophonic tape effects (because even trees need good special effects)
  • Mellotron textures smoother than a politician's promises
  • Pink Floyd's original Dark Side of the Moon synthesizer (moon not included)

Why "Bivouac" is your new favorite concept album:

  • It's what would happen if "Ram" and "Wizard a True Star" had a baby... in the woods
  • Steely Dan gets quoted ("Hello Monday!"), but the Tories get roasted
  • The perfect soundtrack for your next escape from post-industrial society

From the urban jungle to the actual jungle (well, woods), Nick Frater proves that great pop music can grow anywhere - especially when fertilized with a healthy dose of satire. Don't miss this chance to camp out with one of Britain's most clever songwriters!

Remember: In a world of political discord, dare to find harmony in the woods!

Warning: May cause spontaneous outbreaks of tree-hugging and an irresistible urge to vote.
