▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
An extraordinary, nocturnally-inclined modernist rock band drenched in Southern Gothic, Brooklyn trio Bambara have evolved their macabre vision to perfection over their previous five albums.
The three members of Bambara – singer-guitarist Reid Bateh, his twin brother Blaze Bateh (drums), and bassist William Brookshire – first started playing together in junior high school in Atlanta, GA and pretty much every moment ever since then have been obsessively honing their sound and vision; first moving to Athens, GA and finally heading to Brooklyn where they’ve established their long-term base.
Their story really picks up pace after 2020’s breakthrough Stray album – a record whose volatile and frequently explosive wall of sound offered a gnarly backdrop for Reid’s typically twisted midnight narratives. Having toured with Idles and Gilla Band pre-pandemic (both big fans), this was the record – powered by their propulsive ‘Serafina single’ and widespread 6Music support – that really put them on the map on both sides of the Atlantic. They were duly signed to Bella Union (Wharf Cat in the US and today announce a major UK and European tour for 2025
‘An intoxicating blend of surf-rock guitar and the blusterous post-rock drama of forefathers such as Lift To Experience; a bewitching blend that makes death's ominous presence feel that much closer.’ Uncut
‘Engrossing, dark and irresistible,….an adventurous group, who just keep getting better all the time. Bambara remain a genuine force.’ Clash Magazine
