Talk about tempting fate. But it’s true to say that Christinzio has made his best music under immense duress, and The Last Rotation Of Earth is an inimitable work; a heady, heavy slice of lustrous hooks, moods bursting with classical sophistication and fractured paranoia. Christinzio’s signature dizzying progressions and U-turns are executed with a masterful hand. A notable feature of the album are periodic conversational voices, as if a cast of people were delivering their lines – which was exactly part of Christinzio’s thinking. “I wanted to make the songs resemble little films, with lots of ideas,” he says.

This was enhanced when Christinzio projected to the front of the stage to deliver an operatic performance over the instrumental. The song distorted to its finale and the gig was completed in a rage of fire and sound. The crowd was full to the brim with BC Camplight.

When that happened,” he says, referring to the day his partner broke the news to him, “I was like, 'Christ, this new record is gonna be good.' I had to focus on some sort of a positive, and I recorded the new record in, like, five weeks. It was just a geyser of songs and feelings. It’s really the only thing that’s made the breakup tolerable, because at least this thing that might help some other people wouldn’t have existed if not for it.”It’s just a device that I really enjoy,” Christinzio explains. “It puts the listener in a specific place. It’s a reminder that you’re listening to a person going through something, and I’m not trying to be Bill Shakespeare.” Still, Christinzio doesn’t see any of this as a story of redemption. “This is not a story of victory,” he says. “It is a document created in the shadow of incredible darkness. One from which the creator hadn’t planned on escaping, and still doesn’t. Hence the title of the album. It is the result of an illness that I’ve battled my whole life. It isn’t something that the world has done to me. It’s the world I live in and it’s no one’s fault.” As the support wrapped up, the crowd was multiplying by the minute. Mancunians were there on mass to support Manchester-based BC Camplight. Pride spilt into the air, melting and mingling with the occasional burst of dry ice. And, with a theatrical swell of lights, out Christinzio swaggered like a warrior returning home.

Y et, how can someone lost produce this masterpiece with such premeditated ambition? Despite the heavy heartbreak behind this album, a classical beauty soars throughout BC Camplight, angrily fractured by moments of distorted sound. This is an album that implores you to listen at the highest volume, overwhelming your senses with a lurid rush of noise.

Originally from Wenonah, New Jersey, [4] Christinzio relocated to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, in 2003. He soon signed a record deal with One Little Indian and established himself on the city's live music scene. He played live with members of The War on Drugs and appeared as a session piano player on Sharon Van Etten's 2011 album Epic, among other collaborations. After the success of each song, he faced the audience with arms outstretched and fingers flourished as if to produce the maximum surface area to absorb the crowd’s cheers. As a sunflower grows to the sun, he was often planted on the edge of the stage, closest to the audience’s attention and adoration.BC Camplight". Bella Union. Archived from the original on 24 September 2020 . Retrieved 15 May 2020. On the One Little Indian record label, Christinzio released two albums, one in 2005 and another in 2007. They were critically well received but did not succeed commercially. He was dropped by the label and nearly quit music altogether while struggling with mental health issues, drugs and alcohol. [5] [6] In a new press release, Christinzio said The Last Rotation Of Earth “is a document created in the shadow of incredible darkness. One from which the creator hadn’t planned on escaping and still doesn’t. Hence the title of the album. It is the result of an illness that I’ve battled my whole life. It isn’t something that the world has done to me. It’s the world I live in, and it’s no one’s fault.” In May 2023, Christinzio released The Last Rotation of Earth, an album written after the breakup of his long-term relationship. [14] The album peaked at number 31 on the UK Albums Chart. [15] The release of the album was followed by both solo and full-band tours, with the band consisting of longtime members Adam Dawson, Luke Barton, Francesca Pidgeon and Thom Bellini, with the new addition of multi-instrumentalist Jolan Lewis.

In 2017 Christinzio recorded a new album, Deportation Blues, released on Bella Union in summer 2018. Some of the album chronicled his experience with the UK immigration system. His most successful at the time, the release was nonetheless followed by another difficult personal period, including the sudden loss of Christinzio's father. [12] Whilst making his new album The Last Rotation Of Earth, Christinzio’s relationship with his fiancé crumbled after nine inseparable years. The album follows this break-up amid long-term struggles with addiction and declining mental health. The outcome is an extraordinary record, with Christinzio describing it as “more cinematic, sophisticated, and nuanced than anything I’ve done before. And more desperate”. The Mourning’ is a slow, wordless elegy that takes the album out on a low note. “No grand finale, more, ‘I wonder what happens next’,” says Christinzio. “After everything people have been through, they’re suspicious of happy endings. Like I said, this is not a redemption saga.” David Sue (5 April 2013). "Brian Christinzio: Manchester saved my life". Manchester Evening News. Archived from the original on 14 June 2015. His 2005 album Hide, Run Away was released by One Little Indian and featured Cynthia G. Mason on vocals. [2] Camplight's follow-up, Blink of a Nihilist, was released in 2007, and his third album came out in January 2015 on Bella Union. Christinzio's later lyrics regularly explore his personal life and self-destructive tendencies, including struggles with depression and alcohol. [3] Biography [ edit ]John Freeman (10 February 2015).
