Bambara Birthmarks (Blue)

Produced by Graham Sutton (Bark Psychosis, These New Puritans) and Bambara, Birthmarks is New York band Bambara's fifth, and best, studio album. A wild, musically adventurous suite of songs that follows a host of lost characters caught in a multi-generational cycle of love, violence and rebirth. Recorded in the UK and the band's NYC studio, Birthmark shows the band exploring new musical territory with even more focus on production and atmosphere while maintaining the noir core of what they've perfected since their debut. The album features a wide range of instrumentation, with vocal contributions from friends Emma Acs (Crack Cloud), Bria Salmena, Madeline Johnston (Midwife), sax by Jeff Tobias (A. Savage), harp by Marilu Donavon (LEYA) and more. World-building both lyrically and sonically has always been Bambara's specialty, and with Birthmarks the world has never felt so vast.
