BUTCH BASTARD – “WAITING FOR A HOT POCKET”
SINGLEย (2016)
June 21, 2016
โThere are a lot of things that can go through oneโs head during the microwave cycle of a pepperoni pizza Hot Pocket.โ says Ian Murray, the man behind the pseudonym Butch Bastard.
โYouโre standing there at twoย in the morning, probably in your underwear. Youโre hungry, but you have to wait a few minutes for this thing. There is a lot to reflect upon in that time.โ
Murray, formerly of Poor Moon (Sub Pop/Bella Union), started Butch Bastard twoย years ago after moving to Los Angeles.
โBy the time I had put the Hot Pocket in itโs cardboard sleeve, popped it in the microwave, waited for the cook cycle, popped it out, let it cool, filled a small ramekin with Ranch Dressing, and eaten it while watching the last 15 minutes of an episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, I had done enough soul searching to compose this piece.โ
Butch Bastardโs yet to be released LP was recorded almost entirely by himself, with contributions from Mitch Rowland, Josh Tillman (Father John Misty), and Jonathan Wilson.
