Just shared this with my bandcamp followers, but wanted to share it with you as well, as without NG I don’t think my Kingbastard “project” would’ve lasted this long! So, thanks for listening. 🙏👂

I know the majority of us dislike the Spotify machine, but still, it has its uses. Mainly as a tool to store my releases! However, here’s a playlist I just created. It’s more obscure works of mine that tend to get overlooked. I chose one from each release to give it some weight:)
Here’s a link to the great satan >

Also, I’ll be celebrating 10 years of my label “Odd John Records” this year, so hoping to put out a compilation for that. If anyone would like to suggest tracks from the Odd John back catalogue for consideration to go on that, then please hit me up through my bandcamp page, or the Odd John Records bandcamp: https://oddjohnrecords.bandcamp.com/
I’m going to try and put together some more KB stuff this year. Have to see what happens. Time is scarce!
All the best,
KB

New Year, New Alias, New Release:
"WXY" by WEEKS.
Exclusive to IRM (indie rock mag) bandcamp, the album is "name your price". IRM is a french website - and from now on, a netlabel - born in 2005 and dedicated to good music of any kind. We're publishing reviews, interviews, live reports, streaming links and videos on a daily basis.

As music reviewers, we've been following Chris Weeks for more than 10 years now and can easily count him as one of our most praised artists of the 10s. Among those, he might as well be one of the most underrated, whether under his birth name with numerous albums and EPs of radiating drone and dreamlike scintillating ambient, his Kingbastard moniker exploring territories closer to electronica, IDM and experimental techno, or as Myheadisaballoon, showcasing more pop and psychedelic elements. In short, imagine if Primal Scream, Autechre and Brian Eno were all one and the same person, and you'll get an idea of the man's creativity... suffice to say that his lack of recognition still comes as a shock to us at IRM. For this new release, that we are proud to share digitally as an exclusive, the UK producer takes on yet another alias, or so to speak. So, why WEEKS ? Probably because "WXY" didn't exactly belong to any of his aforementioned identities : too ambient f or Kingbastard, too minimalistic for Myheadisaballoon, too raw maybe for simply signing it Chris Weeks or make it fit with the apparently short-lived C\/\/\/\ project and its fragile chamber electronics. With massive layers of hiss, static and unstable textures, hazy synths, syncopated drums and glitchy rhythms, this new album sounds very much spontaneous, which has been a dominant trait of Chris Weeks' music of late. It feels organic and yet abstract, as much delicate as it is hefty, vast and intimate at the same time. Sometimes playful as well, but always filled with anxiety and unstability... so many paradoxes and seeming contradictions that make "WXY" quite captivating, another peak in Chris Weeks' substantial body of work.
Please consider listening/downloading/sharing
Thank you,
Chris
