Stream-of-consciousness rock album with plenty of weirdness and plenty of hooks. This one is a slow burner though—if it took you a couple listens to love Primus, it’ll take you a couple listens to love AE Bridger.

"Neurologist Oliver Sacks writes that, although rare, many of his patients report having musical hallucinations. His patients often refer to the hearing recordings in their head as played on their “intercranial jukebox.” I can only marvel at how Bridger has managed to free the hits from his intercranial jukebox, but it’s definitely coming through loud and clear. Quite remarkable, to say the least."

The Oh-Six takes you on a homemade journey, moving effortlessly from satisfying riff-rock to synthetic indie oddness. Involving song structure and haunted melodies abound in tracks like “Snap My Spine” or the infectious “New Age Bloodstain”, reminiscent at times of Eno-era David Bowie. The album’s standout track, “Coocooned Inside a Cloud”, is a gem of sprawling, noisy pop that’s not too weird for the Fat Cat and just far enough out there for the kids.

AE Bridger creeped on to the St. John’s alternative scene in early 2007 following the release of “The Oh-Six”. This lo-fi lament to demonic possession grabbed the attention of three curious kids, who would later approach AE a few months later to form a group. These young prog rockers pledged their allegiance, and donated their minds and cars to AE’s musical and spiritual endeavours.
Their timing was ideal, for in the 6 months following the release of “The Oh-Six”, AE Bridger had composed another collection of songs entitled “I AM A GHOSTLY LEECH”. Over the summer of 2007, the newly formed AE Bridger Band spent long days rehearsing this new material, and long nights playing for fascinated crowds. A year later, AE Bridger has finally released “I AM A GHOSTLY LEECH”, his most ambitious project yet, and the band has already begun rehearsing new material for the next project….
