    There is nobody quite like Christinzio, who finds room for brooding art rock (Fear Life In a Dozen Years), glorious melodramatic balladry (Going Out On a Low Note) and descents into impressionistic weirdness (It Never Rains In Manchester). His lyrics, meanwhile, imbue resounding sadness with rapier wit.

    He is a gifted songwriter and musician who delivers his art as public therapy. At some point, though, it would be refreshing to hear Christinzio sing about something other than his own turmoil.

    It's not difficult for me to be excited for BC Camplight. Since "Shortly After Takeoff" (2020), it has been hard to find an Indie Pop/Rock asIt's not difficult for me to be excited for BC Camplight. Since "Shortly After Takeoff" (2020), it has been hard to find an Indie Pop/Rock as creative and multilayered as him, and this new album will be a happy addition to his career and my most played playlist. In his best moments, he managed to create textures and feeling so easily genuine, that it is very easy to listen and re-listen them gladly. In his worst, his composition and signing it still evokes interesting directions of music and existentialism. Full Review »
