Description
BKO (Bradman Kerner Overdrive)'s debut album, Awesome City Limits, was recorded in a Missoula, Montana Holiday Inn room in late November 2004. Amidst a tough fall of touring as supporting players for The Natural History, Brad Swinairski and Joachim Kearns reached an unexpected creative peak. The songs are a self - proclaimed 'long reflective wheeze' in American folk music. As Kearns said, it's an attempt at self - preservation during the daily absurdity of state - to - state travel. With just guitars and great harmonies, Awesome City Limits takes you on a journey through the early 2000s American landscape from a dirty van window. It reflects a life of eating canned soup, playing flip - phone bowling, collecting gas - station condiments, and cooking in club parking lots. Songs like 'Another day, Another Dollar' and 'Hard and Mean' show the resignation from lack of money and too much time. Once loved by a few who got the original cdr's, this new vinyl edition will introduce this overlooked gem to a new audience. It's soul food, like our daily bread. As Swiniarski said, 'bread is meat when you have no cheese,' and now it's time to enjoy this musical feast. Brad Swiniarski handles vocals, guitar, bass, suitcase, and organ, while Joachim Kearns does vocals and guitar.
To enjoy this vinyl edition of Awesome City Limits, just put it on your record player and let the music play. For the best sound, make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. After use, store it in a cool, dry place, and keep the record sleeve clean. There's no special maintenance needed, but treat it gently to make the music last for a long time. Just sit back, relax, and let the music take you on that American journey.
