Bhi Bhiman Releases Soulfully Subversive New LP Rhythm & Reason May 19 Via Thirty Tigers
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Bhi Bhiman will release his new album Rhythm & Reason May 19 via Thirty Tigers. Hailed by Robert Christgau for NPR All Things Considered as a "penetrating melodist, accomplished guitarist and striking singer," Bhiman uses his own upbringing as the son of immigrants as a central theme for the album's 10 original songs. With production by Sam Kassirer (Lake Street Dive, Josh Ritter), Bhiman deploys bold language and sonic sparks - from richly arranged strings and woodwinds to a literal gunshot - on Rhythm & Reason, all anchored by his most powerful instrument, his unmistakeable tenor hailed as "full-bodied and brawny but delicate" by the New York Times.

Bhiman balances the subversive with the sensitive on Rhythm & Reason, drawing inspiration in equal measure from Richard Pryor and Curtis Mayfield for their keen observations, their biting commentary and their humanity. Opener "Moving to Brussels" sets the tone for the album in the form of an immigrant's Dear John letter to his former dictator; "Waterboarded in Love" details an interrogation by a jealous love; and "Up In Arms" recounts Black Panther Huey Newton's fall from prominence.

Rhythm & Reason follows 2012's Bhiman, which TIME called "joyous sensory overload" and Paste praised as a "spirited, multi-cultural stylistic stew." Bhiman performed on "Later... with Jools Holland" and Wits with fan and friend Keegan-Michael Key (of "Key & Peele"). Following tours with Soundgarden's Chris Cornell and Rosanne Cash, Bhiman was asked by Rhiannon Giddens to join her tour starting March 31 - see dates below.

Rhythm & Reason Track List:
1. Moving to Brussels
