Currently on tour in Europe, Big Pauper has made his track “Blue Dawn” – taken from his new album – available to download for free.
Formerly performing under the name Panzah Zandahz, Portland’s Big Pauper is an acclaimed producer, deejay and visual artist with a penchant for forgotten media and discarded technologies. The new album has it’s roots deep in sixties psych rock, the dregs of new age tape crustiness, our waning industrial society and most evidently, schlock cinema (everything from Portuguese horror, to the sleaziest of nunsploitation). Beyond My Means unfolds like a grindhouse double feature, that private press record you can’t believe you found, or your third eye chakra babbling on after a group reiki session.
The song premiered last week at Gimme Tinnitus, along with an interview where he revealed his fascination with Matthew Lesko and his bizarre artistic presence. Big Pauper’s new album of dusty, glitchy and often times noisy tapestry of found sounds, VHS beats and analog synth textures, Beyond My Means, is out now through Circle Into Square and Fake Four Inc.
