BC Camplight (formerly B.C. Camplight) is the moniker of American songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Brian Christinzio. His 2005 album ''Hide, Run Away'' was released by One Little Indian and featured Cynthia G. Mason on vocals. Camplight's follow up, ''Blink of a Nihilist'', was released in 2007. The third album came out in January 2015 on Bella Union. Christinzio's later lyrics regularly explore his personal life and self-destructive tendencies, including struggles with depression and dealing with drugs and alcohol abuse. ==Biography== Originally from New Jersey, Christinzio relocated to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA in 2003. He soon signed a record deal with One Little Indian and established himself on the city's live music scene. He played live with members of The War on Drugs and as a piano session player appeared on Sharon Van Etten's 2011 album "Epic" among other collaborations. On the One Little Indian label, Christinzio released two albums, in 2005 and 2007. They were critically well received, but did not succeed commercially. He was dropped by the label and nearly quit music altogether while struggling with mental health issues, drugs and alcohol, to the point of feeling he was near death.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NewsTalk Podcasts - The Tom Dunne Show - Interview BC Camplight )〕 Christinzio relocated to Manchester, England in 2011, following the advice of a fan on social media. There he recuperated and returned to writing and performing.〔〔 In October 2014 Bella Union announced it will be releasing BC Camplight's already-recorded third album, ''How to Die in the North'', in January 2015. However, in early 2015 Christinzio had overstayed his visa permissions and was made to leave the UK, resulting in the cancellation of his band's summer tour which was to include performances at the Green Man and End of the Road festivals and an appearance on ''Later... with Jools Holland''. Gigs in other countries have gone ahead as planned, including a debut tour in the US. Christinzio is currently residing in Paris and Philadelphia.〔 The BC Camplight live band consists of Christinzio (piano/vocals) and Mancunians Hattie Coombe (vocals), Stephen Mutch (bass), Jonno "Espranto" Prestbury (Guitar), Adam Dawson (drums) and Robbie Rush (keyboard/guitar).〔(BC Camplight - Interview for Re:VERSION in Rotterdam )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「B.C.
