Wizzzzzards Album Stream on OVERBLOWN
On the Wings of a Bug OUT NOW!
Huzzah! Today the new Borrowed Beams of Light album, On the Wings of a Bug, is out TO-DAY!
You can stream or buy the album on our Bandcamp site!
We’ve already had some kind words about the album from around mother Internet. The Vinyl District premiered the album on their site. And Caleb from Kick Kick Snare featured a track from the album.
And for more fun, keep your eyes peeled for the video for the titular track this week. The video is basically like opening up Adam Brock’s head and peeking inside for three minutes, and don’t even tell me you’ve never wished you could do that.
For all our Cville peeps, come on out to the LP release show at the Southern this Saturday night. It’s gonna be grand!
Borrowed Beams Of Light – On The Wings Of A Bug
We are very excited to announce the release of the brand new record by Charlottesville, VA pop heroes, Borrowed Beams Of Light. Nearly a year in the making, On The Wings Of A Bug is perhaps the most cohesive musical statement that Adam Brock and co. have produced yet.
The record is set for a November release but you can pre-order the LP HERE and stream the album’s title track below. All pre-orders will receive an automatic download of the title track. Numbers are limited to 300 so be sure to place your order soon!
Here is Thomas Dean’s beautiful album cover art along with the tracklist for the record:
