Band of the Week: Brown Recluse Sings




[October 1-7]
Brown Recluse Sings
Sounds Like: Indie Pop
Drinking Buddies: The Shins + Shout Out Louds + Spoon
Makes You Want To...: Ride a bike; talk to friends.






This is a recurring thing I'm going to be attempting to do.
I've been doing it for years on my Myspace, giving credit to four new bands per month. Now I'll actually give them credit in a place where people are interested?! Yay.





Brown Recluse Sings is a quintet of jovial and delightful boys from Philadelphia, Penn. Playing a variety of cheery songs in a style very reminiscent of the bouncy, happy Shins, Brown Recluse Sings have been making a name for themselves with their Black Sunday EP released last year, as well as the prospect of their new album, The Soft Skin, slated to come out sometime in 2007 or 2008. Keeping their songs typically upbeat, Brown Recluse Sings knows how to have fun, bringing out sweet harmony with crisp acoustics in the background, without mentioning the delightful brass instruments backing them up.

There may not have been a more manly way to restate that last sentence, but there is a way you can snag yourself more of Brown Recluse Sings! Mosey on over to their myspace to get a glimpse of their talent, not to mention catch their latest song, Night Train. They also have their songs Western Meadowlark up for download - hurray for mp3 action! You'll also find links to purchase their Black Sunday EP, and a cool shirt that lets you know if you're in dangerous brown recluse country.
