Black Pus is the one man band of Lightning Bolt drummer Brian Chippendale Black Pus is the pop-inspired side project of Lightning Bolt's Brian Chippendale-- but it's only "pop" in comparison to his main gig's Jackson Pollock-style approach. All My Relations is the first Black Pus album to be recorded in a professional studio, and proves less blown-out, and more sing-songy than its predecessors. Black Pus is Lightning Bolt drummer Brian Chippendale’s pop-inspired side project. Don’t get the wrong idea, though. The drummer’s solo-musings are only “pop” in comparison to his main gig, whose expansive, abstract thrashing sounds sort of like a flaming 8-bit meteor plunging into the Burning Man festival.
