Set for release on November 6, 2025, “Brokist” marks a defining moment in the musical evolution of Green Plastic Whistle, the solo project of Cincinnati-based artist Edouard Bullock. As the lead single from his forthcoming album “12 O’clock Fears,” the track embodies the emotional and creative heart of the project. Inspired by musical legends such as Radiohead, Nirvana, The Beatles, and Chris Thile, Edouard fuses influences from grunge, indie, folk, rock, and electronic genres into a sound that is both deeply personal and sonically innovative.
At its core, “Brokist” tells a story of resilience and reflection. Drawing from Edouard’s lived experience with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and the profound transformation of becoming a father, the song captures the tension between vulnerability and hope. His lyrical craftsmanship—reminiscent of Kurt Cobain’s introspective depth—lays bare the emotional turbulence of navigating life’s challenges while celebrating its fragile beauty. The track’s honesty and raw intensity make it a standout introduction to what promises to be an unforgettable album.
Recorded and produced entirely in Edouard’s home studio, the project highlights his versatility as a multi-instrumentalist, seamlessly weaving guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, drums, keys, and synths into a cohesive soundscape. Years of self-taught production have culminated in a record that feels both intimate and expansive, offering listeners a deeply immersive experience that transcends genre boundaries.
With a catalog of more than 100 original songs, Edouard Bullock has long been a quiet force in the indie music scene. However, “Brokist” and the upcoming “12 O’clock Fears” album are poised to bring his artistry to a wider audience. Through pain, perseverance, and boundless creativity, Green Plastic Whistle delivers a project that reminds listeners of the healing power of music.
