"Many of the songs have this feeling that's hard
to describe but so satisfying to hear: like a sadness that's been buried, and
you're soldiering quietly on, and not
making a show of it. The spare, lovely melodies swell and recede, all with
perfect precision and tremendous understated feeling. How this music can be
so emotional without ever getting sentimental or corny is completely beyond
me" – Ira
Glass, This American Life
"...Equal
parts Eno, Mum and Mogwai. His songs construct equally barren landscapes: "Aidos"
burbles up from nothing and swells into a circle of warm, chiming guitars,
evoking what it must be like to float on your back in the Gulf of Mexico without
another soul for miles; the waterlogged, percolating synths of "Kt"
approximate the best beatless moments of Boards Of Canada, or at least an
instrumental B-side from Kid A. Bexar Bexar often contributes music to dress the
scenes on NPR's "This American Life," and it's easy to see why.
Haralambos makes perfect background music for quiet, reflective moments: reading
a book, lying in the dark, imagining you're the last person on earth."–

"whether feelings
generated from the songs are akin to the stark melancholy of looking
upon a freshly fallen snow or the hopeful joy of waking to a fresh
autumn day, this is one hell of a great album." –

"Asadness
pervades much of the material (“The Messy Message,” “Sweet Devil”),
lending it an affecting gravitas, while shimmeringsettings
like “Window Piece” and “Unsettled and Unstable” are about as lovely and
tranquil as pastoral ambient music gets.” – Textura
Brian, your music is awesome. Joel told me you got a 2880 recently- how's that treating you? I mess around with his allll the timmme. So fun, controlling the loop levels is such an amazing feature!
Your music moved us in a way that we'll never forget. Your creations are beautiful and it was kind of you to talk to us for a bit after the show. Hopefully we'll run into you during SXSW. more show photos @ www. flickr. com/photos/gavinguthrie
