September Call-Up

September Call-Up's music is thoughtful, creative and genuine. While primarily the vehicle of singer-songwriter Christian Bitto, September Call-Up really began to take shape with the collaboration between Bitto and recording engineer/multi-instrumentalist Jesse Gimbel while working on Bitto's debut, "The September Call-Up EP" in 2012. With Gimbel joining on as a part of Bitto's band in promotion of the EP, the September Call-Up moniker was adopted. The EP garnered favorable reviews from fans and critics being labeled as "honest and organic" and touching on subjects like alcoholism, self expectations, and a longing for home. With 2013's full-length debut album "Air And My Sleep", the low-key instrumentation of Bitto's debut EP has grown into a fully realized full-band sound with layers of electric and acoustic guitars, varied and original percussion, occasional organ and even crickets. Recorded in Gimbel's home studio, the album touches on themes of relationships, loss, love, and critiques on ones self and society as a whole. The album has tracks that range from quiet fingerpicked tales to folky ballads to dynamic songs that explode into full fledged indie rock all the while maintaining the lyrical earnestness and honesty that defines Bitto's music.
