BLUE SAUSAGE INFANT is the work of Chester Hawkins of Washington DC. Since 1986, BSI has produced music that combines aspects of noise, drone, Krautrock, sample-plundering, dark ambient, and kosmische electronics to produce a multi-layered feast for the brain. Hawkins describes his music as "mean-spirited euphoria," an improvised form of psychedelia with a glaze of paranoid tension.
BSI has collaborated in recordings and live performances with Violet, Dave Newhouse (The Muffins), Thee Maximalists, Insect Factory, Pilesar, Gary Rouzer (Nine Strings), Reanimation, Changes To blind, Haunted Toilet, New Carrollton, Stolen Government Binder Clip, Lida Husik, and others...

MANITOU: AVAILABLE NOW
Following the extended kosmische excursions of 2011's "Negative Space," this year's "Manitou" is a different beast for shorter attention spans: Everything from dark drones to mutant caffeinated space-punk, audio collage, space-rock, distorted industrial stomp, analog nasty fun. Includes a remake of 1990's "The Moss Takes Over." Available as CD & mp3 via Alrealon Musique [here].
"Excellent music for some late night beer drinking and dope smoking - if only such things were allowed. Another fine album indeed." -- Vital Weekly
