About BCMC
BCMC, featuring Cooper Crain and Bill MacKay, unite to create provocative epilogues, warm avant-garde noir, and fiery over-driven jams to recall life’s sunnier and stranger days. Crain's organ and synths mix with MacKay’s guitars as they draw songs from elegiac themes and spontaneous statements that are equal parts east-west, deep space, avant-rock, raga, fugue, field recording, blues and beyond.
