Bug Bus Piano - Out Under Streets LP
The inaugural release of NYC's new Stern Records (releasing "all your favorite tunes...") - the debut LP of the lauded Bug Bus Piano project. A stunning chronicle of "hard ambient", reminding us of our favorite things about the refried tape experiments of Lamborghini Crystal and other early/mid aught throwbacks of the Mutant Sounds era, SEGA VGM dreamscapes, and all of the fuzzy ambient beauty that tugs at our piano heartstrings. We love it!
"The chronicle continues, deepening the legend… Out Under Streets serves as a milestone in the profuse and vastly intangible catalog of Bug Bus Piano – a decade into the cult project’s existence, this album stands as its first LP. But Bug Bus Piano, the originator of Hard Ambient, is perhaps better understood as an outlook or world unto itself. At any given moment it is a spirited performance of hyper-ambivalence, a refuge and processing center for personal history, populist strife and achievement, a besieged utopian commune. Out Under Streets is the newest export of this philosophy and perhaps the finest point of entry yet into all that is Bug Bus Piano. Far from didactic, the journey underground and back again concept which structures the record serves as a vehicle to consider what lies beneath the potholes in our pavement and centuries of cracked sidewalk. Every demolition or collapse and each successive failure at putting the pieces back together again. Having received the blessing of Carriswheel, Stern Records is proud to inaugurate itself with a major handmade ambient statement by Bug Bus Piano."
