In October 2023 t.k bollinger released 2 albums. The first was a retrospective of early acoustic material, Stripped Beaten Naked and Afraid. The second, Imperfect Spaces, Pts 1 through 3, was a hauntalogical asymmetrical song cycle incorporating recognisable songs as well as improvised anti-songs steeped in sound treatments and intended for deep listening and reflection. A journey of musical stepping stones and liminal places to invoke a continuity of musical experience. The music of t.k. bollinger is a sweetly tortured fusion of Orchestral Indie, Doom Blues, Gothic Country and post apocalyptic Gregorian Chant. A predominantly solo artist, his songs speak of the horror and the hope that lies in a world where each of us is forced to find our own meaning and purpose. Plaintive melodies meet literate lyrics, all played and sung in bollinger’s idiosynchratic style and voice.Bollinger mines his music from the same dark vein as such late 20th Century Australian underground artists as The Birthday Party/Nick Cave, The Wreckery, and Crime and the City Solution. It blends Gothic Country with Folk, Punk Rock, Dark Pop and the Blues. Bollinger’s musical influences are not only home grown. He derives his inspiration from many sources, including Cow Punk, Dark Folk, Sad Pop and Americana a mish mash of genre that revolves around the ugly twin of Happiness, Sadness. If any single word sums up his sound, it would be Sadcore.
