Black Market Karma, the creative project of Stanley Belton, has just released its latest album, “Wobble.” This new collection of 12 tracks showcases Belton’s signature “cassette-ified” lo-fi psych-pop sound, marking his eleventh self-recorded and produced record under the Black Market Karma moniker.
“Wobble” is described as a warmly familiar yet refreshing journey through neo-psych and lo-fi bedroom pop. Shindig Magazine praises the album, stating, “Wobble is not nostalgic but warmly familiar, at once cozy and keen on surprises and detours.” This blend of warped neo-psych and intimate lo-fi pop creates an inviting and engaging listening experience.
Louder Than War highlights the album’s laid-back vibe, calling it “the perfect soundtrack for a hazy lazy summer evening.” This sentiment is echoed by Classic Rock Magazine, which notes the album’s “lo-fi psychedelia weaves melodic charms.” The consistent praise from various publications underscores the album’s appeal and the unique sound that Belton has crafted.
“Wobble” offers listeners a rich, textured sonic landscape that balances retro influences with contemporary twists. Belton’s ability to blend catchy melodies with psychedelic elements has drawn comparisons to other influential artists in the genre, such as Tame Impala and The Brian Jonestown Massacre.
The release of “Wobble” also includes a special edition available exclusively through the Fuzz Club store. This version features 180g deep red vinyl in a hand-numbered sleeve, limited to just 300 copies. The exclusive edition is quickly running low, highlighting the anticipation and demand for Black Market Karma’s latest work.
Stanley Belton’s prolific output and dedication to self-recording and producing his music have cemented Black Market Karma’s place in the indie psych-pop scene. “Wobble” continues this tradition, offering a fresh yet familiar sound that resonates with both longtime fans and new listeners.
“Wobble” by Black Market Karma is a standout release in the lo-fi psych-pop genre. With its cozy yet adventurous sound, the album is perfect for a relaxing summer evening or an introspective listening session. As Stanley Belton continues to explore and innovate within his musical style, “Wobble” serves as a testament to his enduring creativity and talent.
