Album Description

The Late BP Helium is the alter ego of Bryan Poole, who has spent the last eight years playing bass with bands like Great Lakes, Elf Power and Of Montreal. With the release of his first solo album, Amok, Poole finally strikes out on his own. Amok is all over the map: an intoxicating blend of 1970s-styled rockers, avant garde jams and straight-up poppy goodness. The album kicks off with "Belief System Derailment Scenario," a jagged, spastic horn-fueled attack, perhaps the album's weirdest and most sonically interesting track. "Bluebeard" comes next, a poppy, Kinks-inspired track filled with melody and charm. The album just gets more diverse from there, with funky sing-alongs ("Candy For Everyone") and extended Krautrock jams ("They Broke The Speed Of Light"), ending with a ripping post-punk rocker that includes a baroque, orchestral interlude.
