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.
