God Unknown Records announce a campaign of releasing the lost albums of '90s post-rockers Bushpilot in 2020. 23 has been lovingly re-edited and post-produced by studio legend Richard Formby (Ghostpoet, Wild Beasts, Darkstar, and a later member of Bushpilot), together with vocalist Ross Holloway. Bushpilot arrived at the avant-garde of the Leeds's punk and indie scene in 1993 with Holloway, Karl Berlin (bass) and Daren Pickles (guitar), formerly of epic noise architects Purple Eternal, playing alongside the more melodic Adrian Gans (guitar) and bolstered by the power of Phil Leigh on drums (previously of Spectral Alice, now founder and owner of Norman Records). 23 is Bushpilot's magnum opus beautifully crafted and totally way ahead of its time. Influenced by Can, Slint, and Talk Talk, Bushpilot signed to Cherry Red in the mid-nineties and recorded two albums before disbanding and heading off in different directions. The album was recorded back in 1994 but left in the archives without seeing the light of day until now. "... these raw and distinctly krautrock and Fall-inspired sounds of Bushpilot feel like a hidden history of what could have been for the era and the direct influence of Malcolm Mooney-era Can is instantly recognisable." --The Quietus
