I can’t find all that much information on Brother. They have a Facebook page (on which they suggest that they are being forced to change their name, so keep an eye on that) and they make beautiful music. Other than that, I can’t tell you much.
To describe the music I’ll have to resort to genre cliches. It’s certainly pop music. It’s also electronic. And experimental. And it’s definitely dreamy.The album consists of ten songs which pulse and shimmer with blissful synths and some very catchy choruses. Some are mellow and pretty (see the title track ‘Call’ and album closer ‘Sickle’), while others are a lot more dynamic and energetic, with frantic drumming (for example ‘Island’). Another thing which I noticed while listening is the quality of the production on show, I’m not sure whether the band are signed or not (due to their mysterious online presence), but everything really is flawless.
I have seen several comparisons with Radiohead (presumably because the vocals are evocative of a certain Thom Yorke), but the band that I kept thinking about whilst listening was Magic Man (who I coincidentally wrote about yesterday), particularly on tracks such as ‘Comma’ and ‘Boon’ (admittedly that could be due to the fact I’d been listening to Real Life Colour all morning after writing about their new track).
You can buy the album for $10 (£6.65) over at Bandcamp and I would highly suggest you do so.
