The highly-anticpated album from Jason Bieler and the Baron Von Bielski Orchestra, The Escapologist, is out today! 

The Escapologist is a wild, unpredictable ride through Bieler’s ever-expanding sonic playground, where genres are merely suggestions and rules are meant to be laughed at. Each of the 10 tracks takes its own distinct path, yet together they create one of Bieler’s most cohesive and compelling collections to date.

“I was advised that my quote for this press release should be short and at least vaguely related to the album. So here goes…I appreciate that most companies now label pants as a 34-inch waist when they’re really a 36 or 38. We all know the game they’re playing—but I respect it. I consume an alarming amount of full-fat Greek yogurt daily, and to this day, I have never had a cavity. Coincidence? I think not.

“As for the album—music, music, blah blah… Recording this was unlike any other record, except for all the ways it was exactly like every other record. It’s heavier than our previous stuff, yet somehow lighter. Hope you dig it!”
– Jason Bieler

Recorded at the illustriously named Baron Von Bielski’s Audio Propulsion Labs, the album features an all-star lineup of musicians, including long time collaborators  guitarist Andee Blacksugar (Blondie, KMFDM, Peter Murphy), drummer Edu Cominato (Geoff Tate, Mr. Big, Soto), as well as new friend and bass player extraordinaire  Johan Niemann from Evergrey.

To celebrate the album’s release, Bieler has released the haunting new single “Hollow.”

With a discography that has already garnered critical acclaim in progressive and alternative music circles, The Escapologist takes Bieler’s artistry to deeper, more introspective levels—lyrically dark and rich, musically adventurous, and brimming with unexpected turns.

“The Escapologist” has a good mix of genres from rock to prog, even synthy dance, sure to make anyone who listens enjoy it.”
My Global Mind

“All lovers of melodic metallic prog will get a kick out of this fascinating release.”
