I discovered John Bellows through a random VHS purchase at Rainy Day Records in Olympia, WA. I’ve purchased every single one of his releases. It’s very hard to describe why I love his music but I’ll give it a shot here - 1. He’s very obviously a musical genius. 2. His home-recording sound satisfies a part of me that is unsatisfied by the over-produced banality of most modern music. 3. His songs have more hooks than a BDSM dungeon.
