Blyolk

“I like to listen to pop, i like to mess it up, often i get bored, so it becomes one big pop mess” blyolk (pronounced ‘bloke’) is the brainchild of 20 year old Melbourne producer/ songwriter Bastian Chesney whose music fuses psychedelia, gritty rhythms and a warped pop aesthetic. With production encompassing sporadic sampling, lo-fi textures, a synth-inspired guitar sound and layered spoken word & melodic vocals, ‘weird pop’ is certainly an apt descriptor. The release of singles ‘Artshole’ and ‘Don Wowry’ have seen Australian radio and blogs alike commend the off kilter tracks and ask for more. With past involvement with a number of acts around Melbourne, Chesney draws on his experience to create a compelling live set. 'blyolk' -- pronounced bloke -- weird pop, etc
