Alan Bishop has announced the latest archival release from his Alvarius B. alias. Due out May 13th through Abduction, What One Man Can Do With an Acoustic Guitar, Surely Another Can Do with His Hands Around the Neck of God is described as “raw and unfiltered live home boombox-recorded artifacts from another age… songs about strangling people like you.” Which is Bishop’s way of saying this ’90s-era survey (limited to a one-time pressing of 400 copies) is not a laid-back listen; it’s a disquieting one, meant to rustle one’s feathers with its finger-picked fury.
