A recent mention on a blog called Dice for Shards
•‘I Blame Baltimore’ is the first solo effort from Sebastian Blanck, a founding member of the noise band Black Dice. Inspired by American Folk music, Blanck moved from the psychedelic sound and primal rhythms of his former band to a quieter, lyric-driven set of rock songs.
•Blanck wrote these four songs in his painting studio on a lake in upstate New York. Moved by the rural music of The Band, the folk rock songs of The Byrds and the finger picking style of John Fahey, Blanck draws on a rustic sound to articulate his feelings of being a “city kid” out of the city.
•In Blanck’s music, the rock ballad is also key. He draws inspiration from bands like Big Star, Moby Grape, Belle & Sebastian and Roy Orbison. Working with producer Jorge Elbrecht, the songs swell and diminish while maintaining a strong but intimate feeling throughout. In this four song EP, Blancks’ highly personal narratives seductively unfold amidst lush harmonies and beautiful instrumentation.
Thanks man! It's as if I'm psyched and stoked at the same time, if that were even possible. The newies sound like a million bucks dipped in solid gold. Totally styched! So psoked.
Hi, i listened to your new tracks, one sided town is one of those tracks that has a lot of listens to it, sounds the sort of track you’d pick out different things every time you herd it. Nothing left to lose has something really positive about it, sounds joyful. I like them both
Iv put down my pen for now and started to try and make my pictures as sculptures, ill show you when I have something complete.
nothing left to lose of you is friggin gorgey mcgorgeous!! and the other one makes you sound like you are a full gospel choir:) where was it recorded? beautiful!!!
WHAT! ok, that makes it TWO shows you have missed. i'm not sure i can find a replacement hand in time. i would need to hold auditions. i would need to be sent resumes with essays on why and how they could produce the best applause in the room/ world... nevermind, too much work. better see you next time!
