No relation to Nick Drake (I don't think), but I came across this album and couldn't help being curious...

Here's a description:
"It's me playing and singing lots of short songs about hauntings, death, madness, shrieking statues, evil plants, doomed seances, accursed portraits, unmentionable entities and other things of that nature. Instrumentally centered around nylon stringed acoustic guitar and a cheap, air-powered electric organ, accompanied by electric guitar, bass, drums and violin. I recorded most of it in a big empty barn with just a few microphones to get a raw, naturally reverberant sound along with occasional noises from outside (birds, wind, dogs, farm machinery...)"

:lol:
Anyway, sounds pretty EERRIWIRDS...

You can find some whacked-out clips at http://www.bdrak.com/sounds/bdsmb.htm
 
Yeah, looks pretty "out there"... the clips show a lot of veriety and weirdness. I don't know if I'll go out there and buy it blindly or not


Oh, I was looking for reviews and Pitchfork gave it an 8.7/10. Suddenly I'm not interested :lol:


EDIT: I just said "out there" twice. Awesome
