Wampire - Bazaar (2014)

LP standard jacket, 180-Gram Black, includes free download. CD Digipak. Produced by Jake Portrait (Unknown Mortal Orchestra, STRFKR). Like the tantalizing blend of exotic treasures and captivating sensations its namesake suggests, Bazaar continually offers listeners a variety of unexpected and alluring sonic flavors over the course of its nine tracks -- ranging from raucous riffs ( Bad Attitude ) to seductive sax ( Wizard Staff ) to charmingly catchy choruses ( The Amazing Heart Attack ). As with their previous full-length Curiosity, Wampire recorded Bazaar with trusted producer Jacob Portrait (of Unknown Mortal Orchestra), though this time around the sessions took place at The Museum, a studio in Brooklyn's Greenpoint neighborhood, and were done directly to tape. ...a patchwork of diverse musical terrain that ranges from no-wave electro to Swedish dancehall pop to rambunctious garage rock, sometimes all within one song. - Portland Mercury It's garage rock that sounds like it was recorded at Studio 54 if it was located in M83. -a Pste Magazine // Wampire come from the John Maus and Ariel Pink school of offkilter synth pop. Pitchfork // Wampire's music is infectious and disarming - Consequence of Sound // Also Available From Wampire Curiosity (PRC254) LP/CD.
