I missed Monday. Weekdays are definately harder for me, what with working until five and enjoying spending time with friends and the girl. I'm trying. I'm making it up to you by doing a spotlight. One artist (/group). Every release. One song each. Today's spotlight: a duo from Canada that you are probably not familiar with. Two brothers named Andy and Jim Creeggan formed under a band name as absurd as we've grown accostomed to (see: Death Cab For Cutie, Test Icicles, AIDS Wolf, etc.) and are known publicly as The Brothers Creeggan. In the last decade they have release just four full-length releases, due in part to their busy schedules outside of their project together. These four CD's show remarkable growth as a series, while each one is sonically remarkable. The sound obviously matures - along with the subject matter - but the piano and upright bass (with occasional/eventual percussion) jazz-influenced pop is always fun. So here they are. The lead-off tracks on each of The Brothers Creeggan releases, "The Brothers Creeggan," "The Brothers Creeggan II," "Trunks," and "Sleepyhead." With one bonus song from Andy Creeggan's second solo effort. The first track from which is a joyously relaxed choral warm-up and roll-call. Please do enjoy.
