San Francisco-based musician and sound artist Brock Van Wey aka Bvdub has announced the release of a new album called Violent Opposition which will be out on February 4th, 2022 via n5md. According to the press release, With Violet Opposition, Van Wey floats the project into murkier waters by adding a layer of overdriven gilding to his trademark sound.
This sound is a texturally fibrous take on ambient that Brock has been experimenting with recently. As a result, the bvdub peaks and valleys you know, and love, are even more arresting with the added grit and brume. Violet Opposition is four achingly impelling tracks smeared across a double LP in violet and yellow swirl, each song taking its time to evolve and cradle you in sinewy tones.
