"It's hard not to respect the idiosyncratic Mr. Weatherall, whether you like all his music or not ... he forged the apotheosis of dance-rock. His uncompromising dub/hard house/techno sets and club nights inspired a legion of DJs and producers." - DJ MAGAZINE This is the first-ever "solo" release from Andrew Weatherall, and we say that because it is the first release he has ever deemed fit to be issued under his name alone. Weatherall should require no introduction, but in case he does (shame on you), here it is: having forged a path against the mediocrity of popular music for nearly two decades by issuing releases under the names Sabres of Paradise and Two Lone Swordsmen, as well as having produced the now-legendary Screamadelica by Primal Scream, he has still found time to run a number of record labels, notably Sabres of Paradise and, of course, Rotters Golf Club. The Bullet Catcher's Apprentice is a career-scanning yet forward-thinking behemoth of a release, taking clear sonic cues from Weatherall's status as a dance, techno, and house phenomenon while skillfully acknowledging his grandly professed love of protest music from the mid-twentieth century. Soon, Weatherall will be found back at work, DJ-ing across the globe while simultaneously overseeing a compilation of classic, long out-of-print Emissions tracks and then shortly thereafter releasing a brand new studio album from his lauded Two Lone Swordsmen outfit.
