SOME WICKED: Dashiell Brown's Blog

It’s RPM time again, where you record an album only in February, the month of the blah’s. I recorded one last year called Circuit Tree and it was quite the experience. Though I have only just begun to sample some of the albums, I was excited to see that AE Bridger, along with Justin Guzwell, made one this year. AE Bridger is one of the most exciting acts to see downtown here in St. John’s, and rather than reaching for a cup of coffee to wake you up, might I suggest listening to People on Pause for the kind of jolt you probably didn’t know you needed to nudge you out of whatever reverie you might currently be finding yourself in.

People on Pause barrage you with an experimental, psychedelic wash of loosely-based pop music to keep you groovin’, and throwing in a circus of noise and sonic play akin to getting hit with a taser gun lest you get too comfortable. Any fan of Les Claypool’s more experimental side will understand. Remember Sausage?

Even better, you can listen to the whole album online at the RPM site, as well as many others. Highlights from People on Pause are Girl From Blight, Jack-O-Lantern, and Black Mice.
