Description

Belbury Poly - New Ways Out

The eagerly awaitied fifth album from The Belbury Poly, the work of Ghost Box co-founder Jim Jupp. Jupp and his loose ensemble of session musicians create a unique kind of upbeat spookiness. They meld krautrock, glam, faux folk and ancient TV soundtracks across eleven joyous, slightly camp and oddly unsettling instrumentals.

On one hand these are light, escapist mood pieces, but as ever with Ghost Box records there’s an eerie sense that these sounds are bleeding through from a strangely familiar otherworld moving in a very different time stream.

The lavish CD and LP packaging is designed by Julian House (Ghost Box’s other owner) with additional artwork by Jim Jupp. The 180gm LP includes a free download card.

Reviews

"...the new LP by Jupp's Belbury Poly succeeds purely as a listening experience. Lighter than most Ghost Box fare, Jupp and a small gang of session musicians explore space-age glam ("Hey Now Here He Comes"), fingerpicked folk ("Water Wheel") and a sort of English pastoral take on Michael Rother-style Krautrock. The sepia edges and occult undercurrents are mostly absent, but New Ways Out ploughs a satisfying new furrow. "
UNCUT

"...transporting you to those especially daft places only BP can – Tizer-fuelled 70s youth club discos with side-rooms for Ouija boards"
Electronic Sound

"...there's an added bounce and groove that makes New Ways Out Belbury Poly's most immediate and accessible release to date."
Shindig
