ALEXIS GIDEON PREMIERES VIDEO MUSICS II: SUN WU-KONG TOMORROW
Thursday, September 2, 2010 at 9:44am

We couldn't be more honored to work with the amazing Alexis Gideon, whose video opera premieres tomorrow at Disjecta in Portland, OR. The Portland Mercury's Ned Lannamann put it wonderfully this morning:

"THERE ISN'T ANYONE doing anything remotely like Alexis Gideon. The songwriter/guitarist has just completed his second multimedia-animated-hiphop-film-opera, Video Musics II: Sun Wu-Kong, and it's an absolutely mind-boggling piece of work. A retelling of the 16th century Chinese epic novel Journey to the West by Wu Cheng'en, Gideon has crammed 1,500 pages of narrative into 65 minutes of brilliant animation and music..."

Brothers Young Good People out today!
Tuesday, August 31, 2010 at 10:54am


Download and share the single "Good Deeds" with your readership

What the press is saying:

"Nothing ever feels out of place; it all feels so in unison -- expected since, at its core, this is literally a band of brothers. 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 evening hours, illuminated only by the radiance of the moon." Mixtape Muse

"Seamlessly blending guitars, soft percussion, keyboards and banjos, Brothers Young strums out meticulously planned folk songs that are often given ambient undertones by the group's choirlike vocal arrangement." Local Cut

"The title track is an excellent example of the Brothers Young sound: light, lilting, lovely indie-folk full of earworm melodies and mesmerizing unison vocals. I love unison vocals! Too few bands do that these days." Frequency

"Blending crisply recorded guitars, drums and banjos with Michael Young's Beck-esque vocals gives the Portland five-piece an aura of comprehensive musical quality that is hard to find in a world where low-grade albums can be thrown together in GarageBand. Despite its newfound popularity, Brothers Young displays a sense of patience and maturity most veteran acts still seek." Willamette Week

"While the band's boots are muddied by the murky waters of traditional folk—with enough down-home bluegrass to justify your bourbon intake during their live performances—the Brothers' intertwined melodies can occasionally fall into Pinback territory." Portland Mercury
