We're Losing The Will To Survive (The Skylab Disaster)

"You talkin' to me?"

Just a cab driver tryin' to find good music.

Bitmap is a band made from just one man. Luke Barwell is that man.

Releasing a brand new track every month since January 2020 and aiming to continue until, at least the end of 2022. 

Luke is formerly a member of John Peel favourites Salako.

The first two Bitmap albums - Alpha Beta Gamma & Micro / Macro - and the EP - Black Arts in the Town Hall - are available to buy on CD via BandCamp. Follow the link for cut-price joy.

How does a modern petunia stand out from the hanging basket? Does he go down the Pavement "writing songs while sleep-walking" approach, sonic terror dentistry or a little bit of "analogue synths go bloop"? Bitmap try all approaches. If Bitmap could change their name to The Beta Band, thousands would hail this as the album that finally confirmed their potential.(8/10)

Fitting neatly alongside the classic harmony-drenched summer sound of The Thrills, Bitmap offers an alternative that is equally seasonal. Alpha Beta Gamma is a delight. Basically it's the album we've all been hoping the Beta Band would make. Smart electronic noodling underpins old-school melodic pop that veers from easy listening to weird psychedelic workouts. As with so much frothy pop, there's a darker twist to the lyrics. (Pop CD of the Week - *****)

Powerfully uncool electronic pop grooves for sarcastic introverts.
