Like buses, good indie albums seem to arrive all at once. Enter The Brothers Movement, hailing from Dublin and formed from the ashes of Mainline. They have been steadily building a reputation for themselves in their native Ireland and abroad supporting the likes of MC5 and Sonic Youth and their eponymous debut sees TBM step up to the big time, pushing on from the obvious potential of earlier releases to deliver a well-produced, swirlingly psychedelic rock album brimming with attitude.

TBM sound like they are the result of some illicit love affair between Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Verve and Spiritualized, who for some weird reason happened to be born in Dublin. They set their stall out quickly in rumbustious fashion with 'Blind' and 'Standing Still'. Straight away the listener has to sit up and pay attention to the mixture of gritty riffs, beautiful melodies and blustering slightly unearthly vocals. True to form, things take a psychedelic turn with 'Sister' and 'Someday', allowing hazy effects and meandering guitars and slightly melancholy tendencies to take to the fore.

The album is off like an unstoppable train with 'Salute' driven by a furious and relentless drumbeat and raspy vocals. 'Coming Home' on the other hand is a sweet melodic jaunt in comparison but equally brilliant both like meeting an old friend that you have not yet met. Mellow is on the menu in the closing stages of the album, with the slightly melancholy but hugely epic 'War And Peace' and the slightly spacey 'Is God Dead'. The album finishes in emphatic fashion with the stirring and broody psychedelic number 'When We Leave', sounding somewhere between The Stands and The Verve; this is followed by the rather alluring and angelic 'We Shall Lift Our Heads', closing proceedings on a high note.

TBM have delivered a very good album which was well worth waiting for. While there is little of no sign of them reinventing the wheel, they have successfully created a record that sounds both original and deeply familiar, making it very easy for the listener to enjoy. There are bags of potential in this record. Hopefully they can fulfil it and won't have to wait so long for the next album.

Rating: 4/5

with the album coming out shortly, we are just dusting down this blog of ours and promise to update more often

we have some more exciting news to come in a few days time but for now check out this review of our debut album given to us by good peeps at roomthirteen

http://www.roomthirteen.com/cds/10515/Brothers_Movement__The_Brothe.html


I have a confession to make, I feel slightly aggrieved as well as slightly triumphant when the music press in general (most particularly the NME) pick up on bands that I’ve been admiring for over a year. The Brothers Movement first came to my attention last year with their lovely single, ‘Mary Jane’, a delightful psychedelic stunner, however with their eponymous debut is a real step up with faultless, commercial-sounding production wrapping their swirling sounds in a highly accessible outer layer.

The brutish, bold echoing vocals of ‘Blind’ announce the band’s bolshy intent, it’s a little like a more melodic Kasabian with better guitar-playing, tambourines and less needless attitude. Moving swiftly onwards, current single ‘Standing Still’ sports a mixture of gritty riffs, blustering vocals and glorious harmonies, making the listener really sit up and pay attention.

Elsewhere it all gets a lot more hazy and a little less impassioned; the psychedelic stylings come out more clearly on ‘Sister’ for example, which sounds like The Byrds and The La’s drowned in luscious effects, and the woozy but charming ‘Coming Home’. The same beautiful mix of harmonies turns from uplifting to aching in ‘Someday’, which has a hint of Britpop to its reverb-laden vocals and chugging guitars, and the epic mellow, but slightly melancholy ‘War and Peace’. ‘When We Leave’ is pure woozy modern psychedelic musing, falling somewhere between The Monkees and Richard Ashcroft in a world of guitar-led glory.

The Irish group have come up with an album full of promise that mixes really great tunes with warm and fuzzy retro kicks in a way that still sounds fresh, rather than derivative. ‘The Brothers Movement’ is a great album to stick on when you’ve got a spare hour to really sit back, relax and absorb some quality music that takes you on a subtle journey through glee and longing.

Brothers and sisters, the album is nearly ready it has been mastered and sounds great. We are close to having the artwork done and it looks really cool and  promise you wont be dissapointed. In the meantime  we  have stuck up a track called "sometimes" that we recorded in philly in the late hours during our sessions at the cobbs studio with our good friend billy hope you like it.
