Brain
F≠- Empty
Set sampler review
These songs are brand spankin’ new
tracks from the always fantastic Brain F≠. There are two different sounds that the band
has- both unique to the band, but very separate and heterogeneous from one
another. There is the sound that the
band has on their EPs, a guitar-heavy sound with dual vocals and less produced sort of sound (not that the
band is an overproduced one, mind you) and a more urgent, youthful vibe. The second of these sounds is the one that
the band has on their “Sleep Rough” LP, and this sound is more professional,
produced, adult, though no less captivating and intriguing than the former
sound. “Dry”, “Sicks”, and “Sailor Swim”
all have the sound of the EPs, while “Don’t Tell Me” is the latter, more
LP-esque sound. So much goes on in a
Brain F≠ song that
it is akin to an attempted alien communication- it cannot be described or
deciphered to a person who has not heard it, at least succinctly. It must be heard for one’s self to understand
it, appreciate it, feel it. This
upcoming Empty Set LP will be no different, if these songs are any indication
to this vibe the band has going. I’m
never let down by this group.
