Here's what our friend Chuck from Beartrap PR says:
BRASS’ Set & Drift is an intriguing study in contrasts and juxtaposition, where soaring melodies and heart-rending crescendos wash over combustive, tightly-wound arrangements and knotty instrumental interplay. What’s more is it’s all seamlessly underscored by oceans of textures and turbulent progressions, giving the record an almost otherworldly feel.
Rooted somewhere between the math-y, lean post-punk structures of early Jawbox and the 90’s D.C. scene and more exploratory, dramatic stylings of bands like Sunny Day Real Estate or Circa Survive, this Philadelphia quintet’s 8-song debut manages to be both thoughtful and tumultuous without sacrificing atmosphere, intimacy or intensity. With an uncanny ability to churn out continually-suspenseful buildups that always deliver a rush of adrenaline to the head and gut, Brass’ stormy sound is more like a slow-rising, unstoppable tidal wave of dynamic resonance than a tsunami that’s here before you ever knew it was coming.
While the band is perhaps less discordant than many of their peers, Set & Drift can be intensely jarring and unsettlingly haunting all at once. Songs like “The Sea Breathing / The Sky Electric” somehow feel epic within the span of four minutes; echoing waves of reverb dissolve into angular guitars and twisting rhythms while Joe Webber’s confident vocals rise above, ringing bright and true. It’s a potent mix that, in theory, shouldn’t work…but perhaps that’s why the payoff at the end of Set & Drift’s 30 minutes of beautifully clashing aesthetics is so completely satisfying.
