BRAZZAVILLE "East L.A. Breeze"
Listen Here:
A Star Called Sun //
Peach Tree"...dark, sophisticated pop from one of L.A.'s most accomplished new bands. Think of Brazzaville as vagabond pop for fans of Morphine, Tom Waits, Spain, Leonard Cohen and Tindersticks."
--Neil Strauss, New York Times
"Their melodic beauty can satisfy absolutely everybody: perfect composition, rich smooth sounds, golden melodies, accordion, flute, violin, trumpet, mouth-organ, and tambourine. Blossoming complexity of exotic harmonies originates in the wonderful lucidity of American songwriting, - this is what Brazzaville is."
-- Moscow Bill
already named an early contender for the album of the year by Digitalmetal.com
profoundly breathtaking and mesmorizing
GRAYCEON "Grayceon"

Listen Here:
Sample #1 //
Sample # 2 //
Sample #3Often moody, frequently rollicking, and occasionally pummeling, these ballsy tunes not only produce an end result difficult to pigeonhole genre wise, but also regularly create a towering wall of sound that defies the fact there are only three members actually producing it. The rich, deep texture of electric cello, courtesy of Jackie Perez Gratz (Amber Asylum / Giant Squid), twines seamlessly with the meandering, finger-picked guitar wizardry of Max Doyle (Walken), and the amazingly organic, frequently frantic drumming of Zack Farwell (Walken).
