Another Hit from Bloody Amateur

Leave a comment

Bloody-Amateur-Press-PicThe more I listen to these tunes from Andy Comer, the more I feel like I won’t be able to escape his self-titled album when it comes out next week via Teen Beat.  On this new tune, it opens with this really basic synthesized drum beat, right before these ringing guitars darkly hunt for vocals.  When Andy comes in, his deep tonal quality creates this feeling of despair, yet there’s still a careful attention to pop crooning.  For me, Bloody Amateur lays somewhere in the realm of post-punk, dark-wave and barroom troubadour…and it all sounds so so good to me.

New Solo Project from Andy Comer : Bloody Amateur

Leave a comment

If you don’t know Andy’s work with labels like Matador and Dim Mak, or his bands Tel Aviv and Prosaics, then you might want to go back in time and find the hits.  But, you can also put that aside and focus on his new project, Bloody Amateur, which will be releasing a self-titled debut on March 5th via Teen Beat.  Below you’ll find him stripped down and open, bearing his soul to the listener with little more than a guitar. Sometimes simplicity is just what you need to craft a wonderful song, and this tune fits nicely into that category.  Share it with your friends.
