They are at their best on their new track "Friendly Guest," which is a mid-tempo, nearly four-minute song built around a single chord sequence. In lesser hands, this [...]

The end of the year is fast approaching, but we've still got 2010 music that [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe

This time, the theory is proved by the Brothers Young, a Portland, Ore., trio of brothers joined by three close friends. With shared vocals accompanying its hazy, lilting folk melodies, we’re hoping there won’t be [...]

Video: Vimeo - YouTube Photos: Flickr Audio: freely downloadable below...

wow, ein irrer sound, den brothers young da zaubern. eine schnittmenge aus folk und pop, die so lichten daherkommt, dass einige songs gar schwindel erzeugen. als würden die instrumente nur gestreichelt, als wollte man sie oder sich in der benutzung derselben schonen. die perkussion reduziert, eindringlichkeit sieht anders aus, die saiten gestrichen, der gesang fest, aber dennoch auf schöne weise brav. und alles, was sich hinzu addiert, ist von zaghaftigkeit, weihe und einer belebten melancholie gezeichnet. und ja, es sind tatsächlich brüder, jedenfalls die hälfte der truppe ist blutsverwandt. da wären nämlich dillon, dustin und michael young.

Tremolo'd guitars draw up imagery of ripples in the calmest waters, a cool breeze floating across the shimmering waves. It's the sound of the late afternoon fading into the [...]
