“One of Britain’s most gifted torchbearers for psychedelia” MOJO – Cult Heros
“One of the few guitarists around who can make a guitar solo an article of faith” ★★★★ Uncut
Following the release of their new album ‘Focus On Nature’, The Bevis Frond announce their first US tour in over two decades. Fans can expect a selection from the Frond’s colossal catalogue as well as new music from their recent Fire releases, for what promises to be an historic live show. This momentous tour follows their recent UK and Europe run of live dates.
“Nick Saloman has led The Bevis Frond through 25-plus albums of guitar-mangling psychedelic rock, wry social commentary and world-beating pop hooks, emerging as one of the uncrowned kings of the British underground music scene.” ★★★★★ Shindig
“Further confirmation that Nick Saloman is one of the UK’s great musical stylists” The Arts Desk
‘Focus On Nature’ is seventy-five minutes of glorious melodies that span 60s psych, English folk, Seattle art-punks The Wipers, the buzzsaw pop of Dinosaur Jr and Hendrix-esque explorations. There’s always an element of playful Englishness to their music. Heavily influencing the likes of The Lemonheads, Teenage Fanclub, Elliot Smith, Pavement and Dinosaur Jr, The Bevis Frond deliver another exceptional record to add to their huge canon.
Like its much-praised predecessor ‘Little Eden’, ‘Focus On Nature’ studies the world’s weariness but fills out a bigger canvas; fast food and global warming, broken hearts and long gone nights out, everyday immortality and being God’s gift all share space. It’s like Townshend at his most thematic; Big Star in all their acoustic glory, perfectly balancing the punky garage rock combo who end up running on ‘Empty’ with Gilmour breaks that elevate it all to grandeur.
“Almost 40 years in and the creativity still flows like water” Prog
“Glorious psychedelic rock” It’s Psychedelic Baby
“In these sick, sick times the Bevis Frond is a gift for the ears, and balm for the soul” Dusted
Nick Saloman is also the subject of a new documentary film set for release in 2024. From the acclaimed Fire Films (‘King Rocker’, ‘The Triumph and Tragedy of Martin Phillipps’) and directors of ‘The Ballad Of Shirley Collins’, Fifth Column Films, ‘Little Eden’ tells the extraordinary story of the band with a soundtrack of explosive, transcendental and exquisite music drawn from a catalogue spanning four decades.
