i play with Dark Meat regularly these days.
here's some video from our show at Cake Shop in NYC a few weeks back.
sorry about the out of tune low E!
you can watch more video from the show by going to the pitchfork.tv site
the very fine, optical atlas,
has posted an interview with me discussing 6 of my songs.
check it out HERE!
the late b.p. helium is one bryan poole. maybe a man.
maybe a ghost. regardless of his state, mr. helium has made much music over the years within and out of the Elephant 6 collective. maybe you've seen his
credits on records by the likes of of Montreal, Elf Power, Great Lakes
or the Olivia Tremor Control. this helium has released two records
under his nom de plume so far to date. the first, kumquat mae,
is a piano pop pastoral piece in the vein of mccartney (the album)
and spritely as the floyd chancing upon a music box under a baking
southern sun. the second record, amok, plays like a jukebox on
genre random. once 60's pop, once 80's nyc no wave... oh maybe
some southern skynard meets the replacements. ambient thai mother
and child morph into a bubblegum bounce? sure thing. amok changes rooms and
moods, but retains the thread that is all elemental helium. the late b.p. helium
will be hovering. be sure to look him up.
I am putting together a compilation of a small handful of artists including myself that haven't been fortunate enough yet to catch any break or attention towards their music. We are all solo style homemade play all the instruments kind of cats. The bonus incentive to this record is where you come in. I am personally asking charismatic cool cats from the psych indie world for a little bit of help, you know a sort of endorsement to us unlucky not as socially gifted artists. My little collection of derelict artists are supplying all the scratch to press a 1st time small quantity run of vinyl. we are doing all the leg work, sending cdrs of the same comp to college radio, music publication, local record stores etc....
Are you interested in donating to us a one of a kind piece of music in the same vein as us bedroom style not studio style, never before heard anywhere else. maybe your first ever recordiing? something truly unique to this compilation. it could be anything! please think about it.
hey i tried sending you a mesg on here and it wouldnt let me so i sent it to your other myspace page please read it and get back to me. it would mean a lot
You were in my dream last night. Hannah, Alex and I went to Athens and were swimming in a hotel pool. Somehow, you happened to be there too and rescued a girl that almost drowned. You're a hero!
you have a wonderful voice, i havent listened to your solo stuff in a couple of months and i forgot how happy it makes me. thanks BP, you're amazing.
oh, and why am i back on your myspace now? because you were in my dreams again, but this time you were a cop. shrug. i dont know what to do with myself.
