BABAL
Running In The Gutter

LP - Friends of the Fish 86
on sale August

pre-order direct from the band HERE

‘Running in the Gutter’, BABAL’S 13th album, and the first to be released by Fruits de Mer, hits the ground running and keeps you locked into their immersive world of intense lyricism and musical ideas; the resulting album is a beautifully crafted selection of hypnotic and rhythmic pieces, each delving deeply into the world we think we know. BABAL have come up with a blend of songs that illustrate the band’s improvisational skills, still retaining musical ideas that weave poetry and dynamic vocals that are at the band’s core.

please note: orders for this album - including international ones - will be handled direct by the band - and the initial pressing is for just 100 copies, so don't delay too long in visiting their bandcamp page!

BABAL will be launching the album at the Son Of Sardonicus festival on Saturday August 2nd, the Cellar, Quay Street, Cardigan, SA43 1HU.
Advance copies will be available at the festival.

“Could it be argued that Crass are joining force with Cardiacs to deliver a Beefheart take on Byrne? Possibly, but instead of attempting to work out the influences and wonder how to describe them, instead say this is classic BABAL with the band putting their troubles behind them and being at full strength. Long may they continue as for prog to survive it needs to be as uncompromising and challenging as this.”
Kev Rowland: Prog Archives (author of the Progressive Underground vols 1-5).
