    These musical twists and turns can occasionally detract from Christinzio’s lyrics, which veer between gallows humour and vulnerability. When the latter half of the album gives his words more room to breathe, their impact becomes even greater.

    A work of genius. Despair through the lens of bonkers production, unforgettable melodies, dark humour, and disturbingly poetic lyrics.

    BC Camplight es un muy bello proyecto de auto-reflexión y perspectiva de las manos de Brian Christinzio. Con proyectos desde el 2005, esta es la primera vez que lo escucho y descubro un Indie-Rock muy ameno, amigable al oído, definitivamente creativo y muy simpático. La exploración que Christinzio hace sobre su propio espíritu y emotividad con los instrumentos y conceptos musicales lo elevan entre la mayoría de las bandas populares hoy en día, pues su visión logra autenticidad y personalidad en su música. Hay una fusión muy interesante entre lo entretenido del Pop, lo sensible de las Baladas, lo creativo del Indie y pequeños golpes de energía muy Rock. Una experiencia musical que recomiendo mucho.

The exploration that Christinzio makes about his spirit and emotivity with the instruments and musical concepts rise him above most of the popular bands of today, since his vision achieves authenticity and personality in his music. There is a very interesting fusion between what makes Pop, entertaining, Ballads, sensible, Indie, creative, and small punches of very Rock energy. A musical experience that I recommend a lot.    … Full Review »
