Cleopatrick – BUMMER

Limited red colored vinyl LP pressing. Cleopatrick’s debut album Bummer sees the Canadian duo harness all the magic they’ve been brewing over their two-decade friendship and funnel it into a record that aims to reinvigorate the rock landscape from the ground up. Recorded with 21-year-old NRM peer and producer Jig Dubé, Bummer is a time capsule of a record – nodding to their insular, small town beginnings but reaching for something altogether more exciting, utopian and full of life. “We want our music to feel as big as hip hop does in the club – big subs and loud drums and vocals right up front. But lyrically, we want to sing songs that everyone in the crowd feels comfortable singing along to. Luke Gruntz asserts. “We’ve been comparing the album to the Voyager One probe – it has everything about us in it and we don’t know if people will get it or if people will care, but it feels so good to have it out there. It feels like a small way to live forever.”
