New Music – BC Camplight – A Sober Conversation

With a new album now only 3 weeks away, BC has decided to gift us with a music video for the title song, A Sober Conversation. Yes, it looks like it was filmed on his phone, but we still love him! He’s going on a four-date tour of Ireland in November, which should be lots of fun. I’m still a bit sad that he’s moved beyond playing Whelan’s but the Button Factory will be rocking.

Tuesday 18th November – Dublin – Button Factory
Wednesday 19th November – Belfast – Mandela Hall
Thursday 20th November – Galway – Roisin Dubh
Friday 21st November – Limerick City – Dolan’s

“With his anticipated new album A Sober Conversation due out 27th June via Bella Union, and following the singles “Two Legged Dog”, which features Abigail Morris from The Last Dinner Party, and “Where You Taking My Baby?”, today BC Camplight shares a video for the album’s barnstorming title track. The deceivingly upbeat single illustrates Brian Christinzio’s internal battle with his past substance abuse whilst admitting the truth of his own childhood abuse through a heated conversation that turns into a literal car crash. The chant “now’s the time for a sober conversation” in the bridge is Brian getting ready to accept things. “I think we all reach a point in our lives where we can no longer run from ourselves or our pasts,” explains Brian. “When I found myself no longer able to stay one step ahead of my fears and memories I stopped running, let myself feel it all, and had a long talk with myself. The talk was dark and disturbing but genuine and life-changing. This song is that sober conversation.”
