People have sometimes, over the years, wondered if part of why the Pacific NW is such a musically innovative region is that there are so many months when rain forces people indoors, that there's nothing left to do but make music. While there may be truth to that, there is most certainly a tipping point, in which the rain not only forces you indoors, but also drains your will to live, or at least your will to create. It's been an especially rainy fall and winter here, and while that's not necessarily the only factor that's kept me [...]

I never got my act together enough to make a Best Of list for 2010. And that sucks for everyone because the one I had going in my head was great and would have made you question most of what you thought you knew was true. LIKE INCEPTION. Instead I'm going to focus on one track which should have gotten a lot more play in 2010 than it did - "Made For Us" by Mackintosh Braun. I honestly can't even remember where I found it, but it came on to my radar screen in late October and its [...]

Portland, OR "Could It Be" Mackintosh Braun on MySpace Mackintosh Braun on The Hype Machine

Portland's Mackintosh Braun recently released debut album 'Where We Are' prompted random outburst of a toe-tapping at Cougar Towers.

The result is a sound that is [...]
[ download ] [tweetmeme] At first glance, Mackintosh Braun sounds like the name of a British spy from a cinematic farce starring Will Farrell. Actually it's the name of a duo from Portland, Oregon, whose names just happen to be Ian Mackintosh and Ben Braun. "Could It Be" begins with an 1980s-era keyboard melody and reverb-drenched joint vocals, which set the tone until an explosive chorus joins major keyboard swells with soaring harmonies. "Could It Be" is an unapologetic dose of optimism that's just trying to make the listener feel good. [...]
