BC Camplight Releases New Album: The Last Rotation Of Earth
After a long anticipated wait, BC Camplight's new album, The Last Rotation Of Earth is released via his home at Bella Union!
it’s true to say that Christinzio has made his best music under immense duress, and The Last Rotation Of Earth is an inimitable work; a heady, heavy slice of lustrous hooks, moods bursting with classical sophistication and fractured paranoia.
Whilst making his new album, Christinzio’s relationship with his fiancé crumbled after nine inseparable years. The album follows this break-up amid long-term struggles with addiction and mental health. The outcome is an extraordinary record, with Christinzio describing it as “more cinematic, sophisticated and nuanced than anything I’ve done before.” He goes on to describe how the separation altered his creative focus and caused him to “scrap 95% of what I’d already recorded”, finishing The Last Rotation Of Earth in two months and making what he believes is his most vital album.
“An extraordinary record... wildly imaginative pop... a playfully post-modernist triumph.”
MOJO – 4 stars ★★★★
“Masterful... like a latter-day Harry Nilsson transposed onto the industrial north... Playful wordplay and minor chord ingenuity abound.”
Uncut – 9/10
“A masterpiece... melodies so beautiful they are like the clouds parting and the sun bursting through.”
Sunday Times – 5 stars ★★★★★ (Album of the Week)
“On this sixth album of elegantly crumpled indie rock, written after his fiancée left him, Christinzio brings some blackly comic touches to his various tales of woe.”
The Guardian
“Out of adversity comes this triumph of an album from Brian Christinzio... BC is a master at cloaking dark themes in glorious pop settings... a ravishing follow-up to 2020’s acclaimed Shortly After Takeoff.”
The Sun – 4 stars ★★★★
“I love this record and can't wait for the album.”
Elton John
“Masterful... 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).”
The Skinny – 5 stars ★★★★★
“Dark, often uncomfortably funny, dispatches from Brian Christinzio’s consciousness.”
The Arts Desk – 4 stars ★★★★
"BC Camplight is so brilliantly insightful and completely unique in the current landscape...absolutely love that"
Lauren Laverne - BBC Radio 6
