about this album

In early 2011, following the release of his first album, As Bright As Day, Trull stumbled across a Brian Wilson biography. Shortly thereafter, he spent months studying The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Panda Bear / Animal Collective, and other psychedelic musicians and authors. Concurrently, his studies veered his interest to the “Wall of Sound” technique, originated by producer Phil Spector and later tweaked by such artists as My Bloody Valentine and Tame Impala. With the help of John Deming and five other BCC “family-musicians”, Trull began writing and recording the music for his sophomore release, Socrates Sculpture, in October 2011. Spanning over twenty-four months of writing and recording, Socrates Sculpture, influenced by 60’s psychedelia and “Wall of Sound” production, grew into a grand coagulation of dense vocal arrangements, sloshy rhythm sections, and bombastic horns. At times, the sweet, sugary sound bursts from the seams, drenching the listener in blissful chaos. Socrates Sculpture is akin to gazing into a blissfully chaotic kaleidoscope of slippery ‘60s psychedelic-pop, amassing into a mammoth “Wall of Sound” melodic madhouse. Influenced by such legendary artists as The Beach Boys and Phil Spector and such polarizing culture figures as Kurt Vonnegut and Stephen Hawking, it is a satirical and honest look into the mind of a studied-musician turned corporate executive turned psychedelic pop composer. BCC’s sophomore album is scheduled to release on June 17th, 20
