EWB 200 REID BATEH (BAMBARA)

This week, Reid Bateh of Bambara joins us. Reid is the front man of Bambara, a relative new discovery for me.  Their last two records, 2018’s “Shadow on Everything”  and last year’s “Stay” have been on constant rotation here at my Garden State Fortress of Solitude.    If Birthday Party, Gun Club, Swans or Crime and the City Solution is your thing, definitely check out Bambara; dark, haunting, with lyrics heavy with narrative about drifters, down-and-out loners and heartbroken reprobates in a Southern Gothic style.   Intro:     “Dark Circles” Outro:   “Stay Cruel”
