The Grand High Exalted Mystic Ruler's Blues

Coming fall 2023...

A bold and stimulating work of instrumental compositions, The Grand High Exalted Mystic Ruler's Blues represents Banrock's fourth full length album without words.  In place of lyrics are avant-garde motifs, lush synthesizer textures, spiraling pianos and fuzzed out electric guitars.  As is the norm Banrock handles every single aspect of the creation, the lone exception being the thrilling synthesizer solo performed by Lou Torrieri on "Unkle Funkle".  For those that desire familiararity there is pop music. For those that seek a different path Banrock offers The Grand High Exalted Mystic Ruler's Blues. 

Nothing, Besides, Odds and Ends

Coming fall 2023...

Nothing, Besides, Odds and Bends is a collection of leftovers from four previous albums, specifically John Banrock, Possibilities, Spin the Bottle and Mind of Peace. The tracks were held back from the original albums not because of inferiority but rather because they were conceptually incongruent with the album themes (except for “Oceans of Love” which was originally released as an album-release-day-only bonus track of Mind of Peace).  All songs are Banrock originals and only one cut features another performer (Lou Torrieri adds synthesizer on "That Golden Flash").  Although it lacks the continuity of a traditional and intentional Banrock album Nothing, Besides, Odds and Bends offers a small time capsule-esque look into the style of Banrock's familiar yet unique artistry.
