Good Day Noir Family, Eric Anders and Mark O’Bitz are back with a new Ep and I want to share my opinion about it.
Bardo Hauntings I: Butler Remixes is Eric Anders and Mark O’Bitz’s Ep
I really liked the atmosphere created by these songs.
A hypnotic sound with magical melodies and electronic sounds that in some moments made me think of Moby of the 90s, Depeche Mode, and I also heard nuances of the Pet Shop Boys.
I recommend listening to Bardo Hauntings I: Butler Remixes with your eyes closed. These songs have the ability to create oneiric visions and transport you to a parallel universe.
For a moment I forgot the reality that was around me and I abandoned myself only to the futuristic and ancestral sound of the music of Eric Anders and Mark O’Bitz.
This duo is reconfirmed for the refinement of their music and above all for the very high-quality artistic vision.
Bardo Hauntings I: Butler Remixes is Eric Anders and Mark O’Bitz’s Ep Out Now!
Magical and Intense!
Bardo Hauntings I: Butler Remixes is Eric Anders and Mark O’Bitz’s Ep
Prolific songwriting duo Eric Anders and Mark O’Bitz have released two new EP’s, “Bardo Hauntings I and II”, each one providing 6 complete reimagining’s of their music. Bardo Hauntings is a collection of remixes of the twelve songs on American Bardo: the remixes are hauntings of the original songs.
George Saunders’ novel, Lincoln in the Bardo, is an American Buddhist’s yurei story that explores American history and many other hauntological subjects and themes.
American Bardo is the acclaimed duo’s 2020 concept album where the songs are readings of this great novel’s characters and hauntology.
“The title, “bardo hauntings,” is based on the idea that remixes haunt the original songs. In this case, the original songs are those of American Bardo, so these remixes are “bardo hauntings.”
As with ghosts, the original is present and absent at the same time.
A bardo is an in-between place. These remixes are in-between the genres of Americana and EDM–and yet are not fully either.” – Eric Anders
