NPR's All Things Considered Reviews BHIMAN

"Singing blues in a voice that suggests a more modest Nina Simone would be an unusual formal choice for any young person in 2012. For a second-generation Sri Lankan-American who grew up on grunge, it seems like a heroic act of will. But Bhiman's songs would be remarkable from anybody: He's a penetrating melodist as well as an accomplished guitarist and a striking singer."

The Washington Post Reviews BHIMAN!

Bill Friskics-Warren of the Washington Post had this to say about Bhi's new record - out Tuesday, January 24th!

"What strikes you first about Bhi Bhiman's music is his voice - a keening, gender-neutral yawp that's as earthy as it is ethereal, as puckish as it is wise...Wry and subversive, the writing and performances here are first-rate, folk-based and undeniably unique."

"Time Heals" video premieres on IFC.COM!

IFC.com exclusively premiered the video for "Time Heals" today. The video was created by Liam Hurley and Sam Kassirer using two dimensional stop animation (Kassirer also produced the BHIMAN album).

"On his forthcoming album, "BHIMAN," he sings a song about a North Korean prisoner in"Kimchee Line," but it sounds as if it were written while sitting on the Mason-Dixon Line and his song "Guttersnipe_" was turned into "Darjeeling Limited" meets "Slumdog Millionaire" video, but the song's just as fitting for train jumping Bay Area hobo."

My Old Kentucky Blog posts "Guttersnipe"

"In the great tradition of epic vocalists whose genderless, creator-of-the universe pipes that rock you to the very core of your being, comes Bhi Bhiman. From the very first street-wise, strummy notes on his acoustic, to the moment this man unleashes his chakra-aligning set of lungs on yer ears, his song Guttersnipe will transfix you into that special kind of lump-in-the-throat, moist-eyed stupor of utter gratitude that this song, and this singer, even exists. It's that good."
