Brant Bjork: New Album Bougainvillea Suite & Two Reissues Available to Preorder; New Song Posted
As previously announced, Brant Bjork will release a new album this Fall. As not previously announced, the record is called Bougainvillea Suite and it’ll be out Oct. 28 along with reissues of his second and third solo releases, 2002’s Brant Bjork & The Operators and 2003’s Keep Your Cool, all three of which are available to preorder.
Also not previously unveiled: the new album artwork, the tracklisting, the pressing info, and most importantly, the new song “Trip on the Wine,” with a telltale mellow groove and melody in the vocals to go with its start-stop riff, organ backing, funktuational (that’s funky punctuation, of course) snare hits and catchy hook. There’s a fair amount of open space in the recording, but its three-minute sans-nonsense to-do is a good time and intrigues in terms of how Bjork might be using the studio this time around. Plus it’s got a song called “Ya Dig” on it and I’m interested to know if there are any other lyrics to it. If anyone could pull off an entire track of saying nothing but “ya dig,” I think we all know who that person is.
The PR wire mic dropped this in my inbox like 20 minutes ago, so have at it.

ALBUM DESCRIPTION
Once again Brant Bjork is back with a wonderful new album “Bougainvillea Suite” !!
He’s never missed a shot in the last 20 years. His discography is connected by an imaginary line which crosses different sounds and melodies, but always with the same attitude. In the background you can imagine the Mojave desert where everything started many years ago, but his last record sounds fresh as his debut Jalamanta! Brant says about this album: “This is a bitter sweet record for me. So much change in my life. Some stuff more positive than others. But it’s always a blessing to be able to make a record and get the music out and to the fans. This is the last record to be recorded in my Joshua Tree studio. I’m saying good bye to an era and looking down the road toward new beginnings”
“Bougainvillea Suite” is composed by 8 songs. Produced by Yosef Sanborn and Brant Bjork. Recorded at The Rad Cabin, Joshua Tree, CA.
Engineered and mixed by Yosef Sanborn.

ALBUM DESCRIPTION
‘Keep Your Cool’ is the third solo album by the Kyuss- and Fu Manchu-legend, originally released back in 2003 with Duna Records. Full of the soul and funky laid-back grooves BRANT BJORK is known and loved for, tongue-in-cheek lyrics and sweet guitar licks oozing from the great 70’s era vibes, ‘Keep Your Cool’ is still considered as one of BRANT BJORK’s accessible and catchiest records to date. Tracks such as ‘Hey, Monkey Boy’, ‘Johnny Called’ or ‘Gonna Make The Scene’ became classics in the stoner rock scene, taken from an album that belongs to every well-sorted BRANT BJORK record collection.
Heavy Psych Sounds is now giving new life to this gem with a brand new cover and coloured vinyls !!
