Nic Bommarito - Splendid Alfonsino

Last week we posted a remixed Nic Bommarito track that foretold of an upcoming album release. Exactly 7 days later, here is the first track of Nic's brand new BlocSonic release, A Quiet Age. Layered, textured, tempered, restrained, emotional, evoking hope and joy, building up and easing off - we think you'll enjoy this track, and the album:
A Quiet Age is a collection of eight gorgeous tracks that builds on and refines the Bommarito sound that fans have come to know and love. Download it… turn it on and chill.
Listen to this, and once you're done, download the whole album, play it, and let it seep into your day and psyche.

Nic Bommarito - Ella va au Japon (CNP Remix)

There is synchronicity in the universe. Today is March 5, 2015. 8 years ago to the day we posted a track by Nic Bommarito on the netlabel, 12 Rec. The track was called Once a Freak, Always a Freak.  

We noticed this when preparing today's post which is a single from a release coming out next week on BlocSonic.

We are posting a remix of the track that was recorded by Cheese N Pot-C. The remix features some calm, relaxing Hip Hop...dreamy, dreamhop.

The coming release is called Quiet Age.  The release notes on BlocSonic give an idea of the artist's sound:
If you’re not already familiar with Nic’s distinctive sound, get ready to hear something special. Floating somewhere in the realm of shoegaze, ambient & folk, it’s an ethereal sound with a substance that sticks with you. The single’s title track is made even more incredible by the work of Brendan Held on violin.
March 5 is now an important date in the BSWC feed.

BSWC One-a-Day: Nic Bommarito - Once a Freak, Always a Freak

This tune is from a wonderful collection of music by Nic Bommarito and was released at the end of January by the netlabel, 12rec. Today's selection is an artfully quiet piece. 12rec used a keyword that I found really appealing: "Dreampop".

According to the release notes, Nic has studied philosophy in Ann Arbor and Albuquerque before moving to Tibet in 2006.

"Nic Bommarito is a talented musician, too. He got in contact with us in late 2006, and we spontaneously decided to release his Taciturn LP at 12rec.

The Taciturn LP fuses instrumental Rockmusic with moments of Alt. Country and epic Indiepop, keeping an eye on melody and structure. Imagine a mixture of Canadian GY!BE, the Americana Avant-Garde of Chicago's Brokeback and the huge melodies of Italian Postrockers Giardini di Mirò."
Enjoy this piece, I know I did.
