There is a bond between siblings that can never be recreated, regardless of how close a friendship is. It is an unspoken connection that often results in an understanding of how to bring out the best (or worst) in one another. Theo and Sasha Spielberg, siblings by adoption, clearly have that mystical chemistry. In fact so much so that they have chosen to glorify it with their band name Brother/Sister. Theo does the instrumentation, in the case of "Opossum" lush and liquid guitars that melt between scattered percussion. His sounds come together to produce this [...]
A lighthearted song that will make you wish it was summer.
Of all the relationships portrayed in film, the brother-sister angle is one of the lesser explored and often more interesting. Classic titles such as SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS, FANNY & ALEXANDER, SAY ANYTHING, YOU CAN COUNT ON ME, THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS are all movies that delve into the unique and complicated interplay that goes into [...]
The Belle Brigade are the brother-sister duo of Ethan and Barbara Gruska and they play the kind of joyous folk, that will put a smile on your face. Their song, "Sweet Louise" is such a lovely dose of someone who just fell in love, and obviously wants to share it with the whole word. This is sweet Cali folk pop at it's finest. The band recently played a month long residency at Spaceland and are starting to get a nice following. Barbara actually used to drum for Jenny Lewis, which is fantastic in my book. Their debut album [...]
Now, I've posted about mewithoutYou once so very long ago, so I guess now it all comes full circle or something, because almost an entire year later I'm posting an awesome live video from that SAME BAND! It's so crazy, right? This is an in-store performance of the song "O, Porcupine" from the band's 2006 album Brother, Sister . What I love about it — besides how surprisingly well Aaron Weiss' sing-speak translates to a live setting, even one so intimate — is how Weiss balances obvious passion for his lyrics with a willingness to play around [...]
Hang in there! We're almost to Christmas and not a moment too soon. Its already December 9th and there's some inclement weather scheduled for Boston today, perhaps the first real troublesome storm of the winter season. I'm excited. Pair that with an excellently simple rendition of O Come O Come, Emmanuel by TSRE fave and Boston native Mr. Sister aka Brother/Sister aka Amelia Emmet. Brother/Sister - O Come,O Come, Emmanuel ( YSI ) ( filesavr )
Hello hello ! Semaine musicalement bien remplie, aussi bien en terme de concerts que d'écoute de disques. La première et fort sympathique surprise de la semaine se prénomme Marie-Flore. Elle fait partie des 14 demoiselles présentes sur le Cheesecake de Severin, et c'est d'ailleurs sur ce disque que j'avais entendu sa voix pour la première fois. Après son live au Café Carmen lors de la release party jeudi soir, j'ai eu envie d'en savoir et d'en écouter plus. Marie-Flore a commencé à jouer de l'alto à [...]
