Cross is emerging as an important voice among the modern players who continue to find new territory in the world of guitar discovered by John Fahey (who, of course, also experimented with found sounds and electronics). With the release of two fine albums in so short a time, he seems to be on a creative tear. Fans of Bachman, Isasa, Jones, Rolin, et al., take note.

The "Bent Record Blues" shirt is back!
Back in 2022, a mistreated shipment of Somnambulist Homesick Blues made its way to Justin in Ireland. It arrived bent and battered, the misfortune inspired this Love As Fiction Records tee design. Get it in various colours on a Gildan soft style shirt.

The Fear of Girls vinyl reissue pre-order is on now, making small vinyl projects is hard/expensive and your support makes it happen! Does BBK have the most dedicated fanbase out there? I'm always excited to see the response and hear from people that love the music as much (or more) than I do.

Preview the video The AU Review here https://www.theaureview.com/music/exclusive-video-premiere-restless-leg-dance-around-my-head-2024/

“Dance Around My Head” is a beautiful and uplifting mix of sweet melodies and jangly guitars, with a killer guitar solo thrown into the mix. There is a vulnerability to the lyrics, where anxiety runs high, yet the drums and underlying guitar melodies counter this, giving it some sweet nostalgic feels. Thought provoking songwriting and beautifully balanced musicianship seep through the pores of “Dance Around My Head”. If you dig iconic indie rock with a melancholic twist, then this will be right up your alley.
