New Big League LP out today!

Over two years Big League’s frontman, Travis Velthoven, set in place highly productive processes and writing sessions courtesy of the school holidays that his day job provided. He carried that structural approach through to the recording studio where the album was recorded by Michael Marinucci at Brown Lounge Sound. This new environment marked a departure from the home studio lo-fi sounds of their previous album, instead embracing the sonic textures the group can conjure from years of playing together, all the while maintaining the rock edge and catchy melodies that make the band special.

Big League’s other secret weapon is that the new album was mixed by Beau Sorenson, the US producer and engineer with an impressive CV that includes Bob Mould, Sparklehorse, Death Cab For Cutie and most recently, Taylor Swift!

Sonically there’s an arc to Heathen Sound that encompasses the best aspects of indie and alternative rock, where big ideas cosy up to life-affirming and emotive rock music. Through their distinctive language of distorted melodies, Big League spin tales that celebrate the often unappreciated details of suburban Australia. 

And so...

‘And So…’, Bright Brown’s Presto Chango debut, out today as an illustrated lyric book & digital album!

September 30, 2022 by Saskia Van Der Geissen

Born out of the desire to create an lp-like experience with the immediacy of a digital download, Brooklyn based songwriter & Chapman Stick player, Alex Nahas, aka Bright Brown, is releasing, “And So…”, a hand written lyric book with a corresponding download code of seven songs written in isolation over 2020 & 2021 and accompanied by illustrations contributed from Pete Moulthrop, aka Bearded Tales of Woe.

Alex Nahas loves limits. That may seem odd coming from Brooklyn N.Y.’s singer / multi-instrumentalist who plays the Chapman Stick and harbors a deep affinity for the likes of Peter Gabriel and Talk Talk, but Nahas’s solo project Bright Brown is a case study in how to wring more from less. As Bright Brown has evolved over the course of three LPs, two EPs and, most recently, the new Digital EP / Illustrated Lyric Book, ‘And So…’, reflecting the post 2020 world seen through his dark but hopeful lens, Nahas has carved out a niche that slots into the same lineage as David Byrne, David Bowie, Daniel Lanois and Elvis Costello: all one-of-a-kind artists who shoehorned unorthodox approaches into highly digestible pop music. There’s the unmistakable common thread of a seasoned songwriter with a flair for mood, texture and atmosphere. Thoughtful and reflective with a knack for rendering outside-world concerns in the landscape of the personal, Bright Brown continues to venture into new frontiers, casting the Stick in a fresh light as a songwriter’s instrument with each successive song.

The Illustrated EP / Lyric Book will be out on Friday October 7th, 2022
