Bilge Pump - We Love You


Label: Gringo
Year: 2019

So, we're getting into the wee hours of the Year Of Our Lord 2019, and that means our annual shitshow of Best Of. The unnecessarily complex therapy session whereupon I try and justify my presence on this dank, oft-ignored corner of the internet by pontificating (and gesticulating...you just can't see, but try and imagine) wildly on all manner of musical minutiae. It's ridiculous. Possibly sad.

But regardless, it happens. It will happen. Soon.

In the meantime, I'm going to post a handful of records that came out in 2019 that are good, and you should one hundred percent give them a listen, but they were crowded out of the Best Of list. By some metric that noone (myself included) understands.

Here's the first one; Bilge Pump, an odd trio from Leeds who take a rhythmic approach to post punk indie rock (so as not to get pregnant) that bounces around the place. There is some noise rock and kraut rock and art rock buried underneath to keep it interesting and not allow it to wander too far afield.
