Artist of the Week: Bigott


It’s Sunday, and I’m barely presenting our artist of the week, although it has been on the sidebar for a couple of days. It was a busy week, professors love to schedule exams during Thanksgiving week, a 3-day family gathering, my birthday and yes, even homework. Bigott is a one-member act from Spain, I was enchanted right at first listen, which is usually a bad thing, but not in this particular case. Do a Google search and you’ll find a handful of comparisons, from Johny Cash to Devendra Banhart, and to be honest he doesn’t sound too original, but it doesn’t stop him from having a musical vision he is in full control of. This year he released a notable LP titled What a Lovely Day Today, a dark and smoky album that travels from folk to pop, to bluegrass and disco, all genres dressed in a wired approach to musical chances.
