Embarking on a thematic journey, it encapsulates the quest for solace in a woodland sanctuary amidst post-industrial Britain. Drawing melodic echoes from Bacharach, Tillbrook, McCartney, and Rundgren, Frater's songcraft resonates deeply, particularly with devotees of Ram and Wizard a True Star. Across 23 impressive tracks, \"Bivouac\" adeptly melds power-pop, orchestral-pop, and prog intricacies, serving as a testament to Frater's creative dedication. Embracing an ambitious collaborative spirit, he unites with melodic-rock luminaries including Roger Joseph Manning Jr. (Beck\/Jellyfish), Luke Smith (Ulysses), and Joe Kane (The Poppermost), seamlessly intertwining these talents with authentic Radiophonic tape effects, Mellotron textures, and Pink Floyd's original Dark Side of the Moon synthesizer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Wake Up Sleepyheads \u003cbr\u003e1.2 The Town of Opportunities (Parts 1 and 2) \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Mean Vincent \u003cbr\u003e1.4 The Town of Opportunities (Part 3) \u003cbr\u003e1.5 The Axe \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Hello Monday! \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Keep It Simple, Stupid \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Heaven It Can Wait \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Singing Kawai \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Sixteen Houses \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Will It Be Enough? \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Walking the Dog \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Don't Get Sentimental \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Closing Time \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Boom and Bust \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Man Overboard \u003cbr\u003e1.17 The Town of Opportunities (Part 4) \u003cbr\u003e1.18 Maybe Marimbas \u003cbr\u003e1.19 Step Into the Motorcar \u003cbr\u003e1.20 Manifesto Man \u003cbr\u003e1.21 Leave It to the City \u003cbr\u003e1.22 Little Sister Moon \u003cbr\u003e1.23 So Long, Sleepyheads\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nick Frater","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40332509020231,"sku":"43814923","price":11.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4248311-3039904.jpg?v=1711811319","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/frater-nick-bivouac","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
