Description
It’s some four years since the release of Bison’s acclaimed debut single, “Way To L.A”, the result of a series of productive studio sessions between Paul ‘Mudd’ Murphy, longtime collaborator Ben Smith, krautrock legend Holgar Czukay and vocalist Ursula Major.
Since then, Murphy and Smith have made a number of return trips to CAN’s Innerspace Studio in Cologne, where Czukay famously conjures his out-there musical magic. The result is Travellers, the quartet’s long-promised debut album. It is, by anyone’s standards, a deliciously dubby and intergalactic concoction; a fearlessly atmospheric blend of krautrock and dub disco-inspired grooves, delay- laden horns, quirky percussion, stargazing electronics and eyes-wide-shut vocals.
