Love on My Mind Bambara SKU: WCR112LP Barcode: 0843563143728 16.00 £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Wharf Cat Released Date: 25th March 2022 Buying Format: 12" EP/Mini Album Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info With ‘Love on My Mind’ – the six-song mini-album, mixed by Claudius Mittendorfer (Tennis, Parquet Courts, Johnny Marr) – Bambara condense all the energy and darkness that have made them so compelling and rearrange it into something defiantly new. Opening track, ‘Slither in the Rain’, all hissing high-hat and spectral synthlines, is a true statement of intent. It’s minimal and atmospheric, foregrounding Bateh’s raw vocals as he introduces one of ‘Love on My Mind’s main characters years after the events of the album are over, a lonely man who throws bottles at airplanes and dances a two-step in the pattern of a figure-8. While Bateh has always been adept at character sketches, tracks like ‘Slither’ introduce a newfound vulnerability that runs true through the entire album and cause the songs to hit on a more human level. Similarly, ‘Point And Shoot’ – in which each stanza describes the louche, lawless scenes of “rooftop girls / standing shoulder-to-shoulder, naked figures with their hips / cocked,” busted up jaws, and couches full of burn- holes captured by the snapshots of ‘Love on My Mind’s female lead – displays an autobiographical intimacy that is not as apparent in Bambara’s previous releases. This tenderness is echoed on ‘Birds’, a rare love song (from which the EP’s title is derived), and album closer ‘Little Wars’, a gripping finale of loneliness and isolation. But while these songs may display a softer side of Bambara, it’s important to note that they haven’t lost the thrill of what attracted so many people to them in the first place. ‘Mythic Love’ (featuring vocals from Bria Salmena), with its driving bassline and ricocheting guitar lines, brings to mind past rave-ups like ‘Serafina’ and ‘Sunbleached Skulls’ but obliterates them in the process, while ‘Feelin’ Like A Funeral’ – a dangerously oscillating tale of a city knifing – is probably the most thrillingly anthemic song the band have ever recorded. Taken together, ‘Love on My Mind’ amounts to another massive step forward for Bambara – the boldest thing they’ve ever done – and the sound of yet another breakthrough. “Engrossing, dark and irresistible… an adventurous group, who just keep getting better all the time.” – CLASH “Never anything less than captivating.” – Upset “What Athens, Georgia bunch Bambara do, they do very well… the trio’s commitment to the dark side is never in question.” – DIY “Bambara are ice cold and sharp as a knife’s edge.” – Loud & Quiet “Brooklyn based doom-mongers delight… the trio go further than most in their quest to rattle.” – Q (4/5) For fans of Daughters, Protomartyr, IDLES, King Krule, Ice Age.
