Brandt Brauer Frick

Joy

'Joy' is Brandt Brauer Frick's fourth album and the first one to be truly vocalist-focused and song-centric. With the help of Canadian poet-singer Beaver Sheppard who played an prominent role the composition, Brandt Brauer Frick explore what the band-members describe as 'post-religious' themes, such as struggling to find joy in times of uncertainty and instability. This makes it without any doubt Brandt Brauer Frick's 'Nietzsche album'. Following on from their latest album 'Miami' (2013) Brandt Brauer Frick keeps moving away from the dark mood of their early releases and the image of a 'classical new music ensemble' to resemble more closely an 'experimental rock band'. With much more grit and growl than before, they draw upon genres and styles that are not conventionally associated with joy krautrock, punk, drum''bass, indie rock, new wave, and pretty much every other 'wave' from the 80s. With each track offering a contrasting combination of styles and genres, Brandt Brauer Frick succeed in devoting a whole album to a single feeling without making it either monotone or cliche. Instead, they build on euphoria to expand and enrich electronic music's emotional range with new textures. More than an album, it is an emotional journey. CD - Digipack, uncoated card, with 6 pages accordion booklet. 2LP - Housed in Gatefold sleeve, uncoated card with CD included.
