Blue Cast Catalyst, or BCC, is the moniker of New York City psych-pop composer Adam Trull and co-creators, John Deming, Matt Soucy, and a community of independent, rotating musicians.
Blue Cast Catalyst was formed in New York City in May 2009 after Trull relocated to New York City, reconnecting with college-friend, Deming. In early 2011, BCC released, As Bright As Day, their first full-length record.
In October of 2011, Trull, Deming, and the BCC family began writing and recording the music for their sophomore release, Socrates Sculpture. Spanning over twenty-four months of writing and recording, the album was released on June 17th 2014. Influenced by 60’s psychedelia and “Wall of Sound” production, the album was a grand coagulation of dense vocal arrangements, sloshy rhythm sections, and bombastic horns.
Following an 18-month hiatus the BCC family reconnected and began their third-album, Cubist Collar. Inspired by a cubism art show in Philadelphia, Trull and Deming began composing their own peculiar art-pop album.
Although it draws from similar sounds used in Socrates Sculpture, this record features multiple lead vocalists, odd polyrhythms, unusual field recordings, and dark chord progressions. Lyrically, the album taps into similar societal-satire themes as Socrates Sculpture, but at times, morphs into stark, honest discussions about life in America in the 2010's. Release date of Cubist Collar is early 2018.
