Broken Lamps - Kaleidoscope [ENM 007 USA 2019 24-Bit FLAC] Some of you may have enjoyed the recent Broken Lamps Metropolis album and it's retrospective  journey through the exotic world of library music. Here is last year's Kaleidoscope album which works as a tribute to sixties kitsch film soundtracks with funky psychedelic grooves and other weird shit. I love this kind of stuff ....it forms a good alternative to the current wave of drab modern indie and bedroom electronica. This album was released in 2019 on the Electric Nerve label in a very limited pressing of 200. Enjoy.

Broken Lamps - Metropolis [ENM 008 USA 2020 24-Bit FLAC] Something new for a change, with a sound which is most definitely not new! Eric Bowr is the lead singer of American garage-rock outfit A Brood Of Vipers, he is also a composer of retro-library music in his alter-ego Broken Lamps. Metropolis is the second Broken Lamps album and marks a tribute to British, American and Italian film library music from the sixties and seventies. Metropolis is a journey through seventies production, experimenting with sounds reminiscent to British music libraries like KPM, Chappell and De Wolfe. While maintaining a feel for retro urban counterculture, the album weaves its way through various film genres like spy & crime drama, exploitation and porn. By combining bass driven rhythms and funk horns with organ fueled sixties surf tones, this album transports you to the unusual corners of a vintage film set and an atmosphere soaked in nostalgia. Consider this record to be the soundtrack ...
