Cary Brothers, with all apologies to Mr. Brothers, is a name I had somewhat forgotten about. He comes up every year at Christmas, as songs from his Christmas EP are in my playlist. My buddy Chris told me I had to give his latest, Bruises, a listen… and here we are.
There’s a similar sense of lushness in all of Brothers’ work. With his latest work, Bruises, there’s an added element of warmth. That warmth comes from the addition of synths, which is a wholly welcome evolution to his work. In fact, I kind of wish this album would have been void of any guitars. Just go all in on the album, add the other elements with performed live.
Makes the playlist: The Path, Til The Stars
