[album] Peter Bibby – Drama King

acute.pop

Perth misfit Peter Bibby presents Drama King, an exceptional new LP full of his firm raw, unfiltered storytelling and idiosyncratic musical style. It is a powerful and dynamic display of his sound and a true reflection of his musical roots.

Produced by Dan Luscombe (The Drones, Amyl and the Sniffers) and mixed with Josh Block of White Denim, the record is filled with intense guitar riffs, driving basslines, and one-of-a-kind dark hilarity, creating an exceptional and energetic atmosphere that might appeal to fans of rock music from any spectrum.

Though the creation of Drama King was relatively smooth, its lyrics illustrate Bibby’s transformation from a hard-partying prankster to a more enlightened, responsible individual who now understands his limits. He masterfully balances pain, humour and heartbreak, often within the same song, making it a compelling listen for those who appreciate music with a strong narrative drive.

Having teased us already with some great new singles, Perth misfit Peter Bibby has shared another new cut/video “Terracotta Brick”.

It has a more subdued tone and serves as a heartfelt musical journey and tribute to a sincere labourer, reinforcing Bibby’s standing as a voice for the Australian working class.

Bibby explains: “I came up with this little ditty while I was working as a brickie’s labourer. I took a direct quote or two from the boss, he was full of great lines. He was also full of piss on a regular basis, and it got me thinking about the connection between the building industry and flat out, celebrated alcoholism”.

All released songs would be a part of his forthcoming LP Drama King (set for release on May 31 through Spinning Top Records), which was produced by first-time collaborator Dan Luscombe (The Drones, Amyl and the Sniffers).

Perth misfit Peter Bibby introduces his latest track “Fun Guy” from the upcoming album Drama King, set for release on May 31 through Spinning Top Records.

It is a high-energy rock anthem, inspired by Suicide’s debut record and self-described by the artist as “a fun song about quitting fun”. What sets it apart is its unabashed honesty and vulnerability. Bibby lays bare his emotions, expressing both the highs and lows of retiring from his crazy days with sincerity and authenticity.
