Out The Window

The Underground Underdogs blog describes Out The Window as an honest journey. These ten tracks of intimate, personal autobiography that lay bare a “struggling to uphold the deteriorating pillars of family” against the harsh realities of addiction and loss. Moody and contemplative, this project reveals itself in repeat listens, peeling back the layers of highs and lows in an exploration of how drugs affect our relationships with family, friends, and ourselves. Brakebill dedicates the record to “everyone dead and alive who helped me.”

Hiding Places

Hiding Places is a 2016 gothic trip-hop long-player from Brakebill. He’s appeared as a producer on several of my top recent records, so it’s interesting to hear a whole album of his own singular music. This is the sound of the nocturnal: The deep, distant echoes of traffic when you’re up late, when you can’t sleep, when the night fills an infinitely large canvas. Vocalist Nance adds old soul texture to “Homecoming” and “Portrait,” two of my favorite tracks. Both are drowned in nighttime reverb. Here’s music that meanders at a celebrated unhurried pace, at times reminiscent of the work of Silver Jackson or DoNormaal, the latter of whom is featured on the song “Charisma.” Very appropriate, haunting cover image.
