BC Camplight announces new album, A Sober Conversation, featuring Abigail Morris from The Last Dinner Party

Commenting on the track Abigail Morris says: "I was so thrilled when Brian reached out and asked if I would feature on this track. I will never forget the first time I heard BC Camplight - my band was driving from London to Brighton, I was astonishingly hungover and sunken eyed in the back seat when ‘I Only Drink When I’m Drunk’ came on my Discover Weekly. I had it on repeat for the rest of the journey and spent the next week exclusively listening to the rest of his discography. This track was a joy to sing, and I felt so honoured to be involved in such a powerful and personal song. Thank you, Brian - you are the GOAT."

Additionally, BC Camplight has announced news of an extensive Autumn UK/EU tour featuring his biggest headline shows to date including performances at the Roundhouse in London and the O2 Apollo in Manchester.

A Sober Conversation follows Brian Christinzio’s 2023 album, the critically celebrated The Last Rotation Of Earth; a record centred around the agonising break-up of his long-term relationship.

“Around the time of The Last Rotation… I realised I was living in this perpetual childhood, messed up all the time, trying to free myself from responsibility and all the bad thoughts I had. It led to a kind of existential crisis… I’ve been running away from stuff for a long time. You can either try and achieve milestones in life or chase a dime bag - you can’t do both. And I’ve decided not to let myself be defeated anymore.”

In part, Christinzio’s new-found clarity led him back to childhood, to summer camp in New Jersey when he was abused by an adult counsellor. Previous BC Camplight records have referred to it obliquely, but it’s now front and centre of A Sober Conversation. “I had spent 30 years being terrified to open that door, and afraid of the price I’d pay once I had. I’ve opened the door. To some extent this album is what was on the other side. I hope it helps me but this album is also for everyone that is having trouble finding their bravery, finding themselves” he says.
