 | | Description: | Bandbox by Peter Blegvad, released 10 August 2023.
This version of Bandbox comes as a 6xCD. - ReR released the first Peter Blegvad Trio LP in 1988 and since then there's been a new one along about every 10 years, the latest adding Karen Mantler and Bob Drake, so it's a quintet now. In between, the trio toured Europe, America and Japan, did various projects and mounted a music-theatre performance. 30 years in, it seemed timely to collect everything together, add unreleased materials from concert recordings and out-takes, and write a fat illustrated book to tell the story so far. This box does that. In addition to the original releases, now re-mastered by Bob Drake and comprehensively repackaged, there are two full CDs of unreleased materials - and the book. That's 72 pages of documentation, recollections, reactions, insights and testimony - alongside priceless drawings and photographs, and all presented in a beautiful sturdy box. Peter's songs have been covered (amongst others) by The Fall and Loudon Wainwright III - and have featured in movies. With additional help from B. J. Cole, Adam Philips, Eddie Reader, Loudon Wainwright III, Syd Straw, Phil Shaw, Geraint Watkins, Stoffer Blegvad and Jakko Jakszyk."The Peter Blegvad Bandbox (+Book)" is a carefully curated CD-and-book set that celebrates the singular vision of songwriter, illustrator and creative polymath Peter Blegvad. The audio component gathers a selection of rare, often hard-to-find recordings that highlight his idiosyncratic songwriting, dry wit and adventurous arrangements - from intimate, voice-and-guitar pieces to more expansive, band-driven tracks. The CD offers a deep dive into Blegvad's world: literate lyrics, unexpected melodic turns and a subtle mix of art-rock, song-writing craftsmanship and experimental edges. The accompanying book extends the experience beyond the music, bringing together visuals, texts and contextual material that illuminate Blegvad's broader artistic universe and give listeners a richer understanding of the songs and their background. This set is ideal both for long-time followers and for newcomers looking for an accessible yet substantial introduction to his work.
Peter Blegvad is known for his distinctive combination of intelligent, often surreal lyrics and inventive song structures, which has earned him a loyal cult following in the art-rock and experimental music scenes. Over the years, his work has been appreciated for its originality and its refusal to fit into simple genre categories, making him an influential figure for musicians and listeners who value artistic independence and conceptual depth.
The set is released by Rer, a label renowned for its dedication to adventurous, boundary-pushing music. Rer has built a reputation as a home for artists who work outside the mainstream, with a catalogue that emphasizes innovation, artistic integrity and long-term support for its musicians. By issuing "The Peter Blegvad Bandbox (+Book)", Rer underlines its commitment to carefully produced editions that respect both the music and the listener, offering thoughtful packaging, well-researched content and a focus on lasting artistic value rather than passing trends. | | | Manufacturer No.: |
