On 2018’s Eternal Slowdown, Brad’s bedroom-recorded blend of lounge lizard jazz and smoky blues won him fans at i-D, Complex, NTS, Clash, Pitchfork’s So Good playlist and more. Fast forward to 2020 and he’s broken out of the boudoir and teamed with producer Saam Jafarzadeh (Her’s) for a vibe of future nostalgia paying homage to pioneers such as Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield and D’Angelo. “In many ways, 2019 felt like a non-year” says Brad (real name Bradley Mullins); the loss of close friends affected him profoundly. It proved difficult to adjust to a world reformatted by bereavement, let alone write music. As paralysis took hold, creativity became somewhat of a spirit guide, allowing him to process events and massage the pain. Before committing vibrations to wax, Stank entered a self-imposed period of exile; meditating like a guru in the dojo of soul, plotting to remerge with fresh heat. Erotic soul opus, ‘Kinky Visitation’ is sexistentialism at its finest! The slow glow of bump n’ grind gently permeates the clean Strats and swelling strings until we arrive at a climax of spirituality. “How she would hold me on heavenly breast” croons Stank with Madonna-like imagery before conceding “Roses are red now I’ve been blessed.” the visitation revealing itself as a philosophical booty call from B himself. Seducing audiences nationwide, Brad has supported the likes of Clairo, Gus Dapperton, Her’s and The Orielles. At radio, the UK’s most trusted ears in Huw Stephens at Radio 1, and Lauren Laverne and Tom Ravenscroft at BBC 6 show devotion. “Stanky’s back with a brand new track, baby!” exclaims Brad. “As pious and provocative as ever. This one’s about a visit from a seductive angel that changed my life forever. Thank you for listening.” Brad Stank’s debut album Kinky Om will be released by Heist or Hit on May 22nd, new single
