What BPK's Up To Now...

In the words of the powerpop experts at sadly-missed Not Lame, BPK is "a one-man band recording all the instruments himself in his basement lab..."

Well, that's not entirely true as the studio is actually in an upstairs loft and BPK is constantly pulling in friends and family to play on his tunes. But it is true that BPK is probably recording something as you read this.

In the summer of 2011, he started work on a new collection of powerpop tunes. While there's no set schedule or planned release date, when he's got enough good stuff ready another BPK record will likely be foisted upon an unsuspecting world and a (hopefully) still-receptive powerpop community.

Discography

Poptimized (2010) "Poptimized" is the fourth album by BPK. Like the first three CDs, all the songs were written and performed by BPK. But also like the previous albums, he had a little help from friends who provided keyboards and guitar solos on a few tracks. He also had some professional help on the production, in terms of mixing and mastering. But overall it's pretty much a DIY affair right down to the artwork.

Ice Cold Pop (2009) This 12-song CD represents BPK's "breakthru" album, or at least the first one somebody liked other than his mom. It was ranked #4 in a list of the year's top powerpop releases and garnered favorable reviews in a number of publications focusing on melodic rock.

The Avocado Age of Radio (2008) Songs of Hypocrisy and Hippos (2007) BPK's first two records may not be quite as polished in terms of production, but the songs are still pretty catchy and fun. You can stream "Avocado" by clicking here and listen to "Hypocrisy" if you click here.
