Chris Bordeaux has wired his imaginative circuitry through a number of varied settings throughout his years in New York. From the epic freakdom of Rarechild, to his defunct band Rahim, he’s always found room to project his penchant for novel sounds and freaky vocals through his varied ouevre. With his latest moniker as CBX, Bordeaux has found a more intimate setting to host his intriguing little worlds.
On his debut ‘Fireplaces,’ Bordeaux moves from buzzing casiotones on ‘Do I Know You’ to broad acoustic strums on ‘Warmth,’ and somehow makes all of these worlds revolve around the same galaxy. I guess that makes sense for an artist who recorded the EP in and out of the city over the past several years. Stream the new record at his bandcamp here. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
