Brumby is Brown

I have posted things about Brumby in the past and I have loved them since I first heard them but this week my love for them was rekindled when I met a friend that has very similar taste in music as me. That realization instantly brought me to Brumby and their unique sound. I would like to call myself a Brumby Missionary. After looking on Brumby's website, http://www.brumbyband.com/Home.html, I decided that I could not describe them as well as they could. Here is an excerpt from their website.

"Brumby was a friendship long before it was a band. Tyler and Dylan met at ages 5 and 6, when they moved into the same cul-de-sac. Tyler’s cousin Spencer arrived in the cul-de-sac shortly thereafter, and Oliver, another cousin, came to visit. After years of learning about music in various classes, choirs, and private time spent reading music theory books, this Las Vegas based foursome decided to form a collaboration.

For two years, Brumby has been capitalizing on the various talents of its members. Tyler’s knowledge of theory and his ability to put ideas to music plus Oliver’s fervid vocals are a good match for Spencer’s cool and amiable bass lines and Dylan’s energetic percussion patterns. At ages 18 and 19, Brumby has become a rapid success in the community where they live.

As Tyler says, the music of Brumby is brown. Much like a bar of chocolate, it is a rich and dynamic, appetizing experience. A quick listen instantly turns into an obsession, a need to sort out the intricacies of the musicality and passion behind the songs. Their EP, Rosebud, a self-released album, has gained swift popularity from people looking for something scrumptious.

Influenced by the likes of Muse, Radiohead, U2, Sigur Ros, Incubus, and Coldplay, their style can be described as “Brit pop” or simply “rock.” Working to emulate their musical idols, they have toyed with ambiance and the power of visualization to create a sound far more advanced than most musicians their age. A typical garage band, Brumby is not."

This is the link to their music video for the song, "Of Dreams and Death". I love it and the sound in this song is amazing. I used to think that their music was a cross between many different musical sounds but now I realize that their sound belongs to them. It is unique to no one else. I hope you guys enjoy it!!
