   About WEAVER AT THE LOOM




In a musical community that often thrives upon conformity, Minneapolis-natives Weaver at the Loom are making progressive strides away from constrictive genres and templates. While maintaining a coinciding attitude of respect for the classics, they have attempted to reshape what is already timeless. Mixing the harmonious and atmospheric elements of groups like Explosions in the Sky and The Album Leaf with the songwriting grace of compositional masters Death Cab for Cutie and Coldplay, the group's first release I Was Searching and I Found is one of the most uniquely beautiful pieces of music to come out of Minneapolis this year. This 30-minute, 5 song concept disc takes the listener along for an incredible journey that songwriter and co-vocalist Dan Smith explains as "exploring the temporary nature of life, and attempting to cope with it at the same time." The group places a strong emphasis on the production and lyrical content of their songs in an effort to help listeners understand and appreciate the contemplative nature behind these mini-epics. For a band at the average age of only 21, they are certainly attempting to undertake some weighty endeavors.



Appeared in AbsolutePunk's "Absolute 100 - 2008"

"Beautifully delicate song writing usually comes from more experienced bands...20 year olds aren't supposed to write music like this." - AbsolutePunk

9/10 Album Review - The Daily Chorus

Placed 3rd in AbsolutePunk's "Top 100 Up-and-coming Bands"

Finished 11 out of 240 in City Pages' "Minneapolis Best New Band Poll 2007"

"I Was Searching And I Found, the band's debut, which is essentially a mini concept album, is brimming with beautiful atmospherics and lush, melodic instrumentation...Excuse the overly nerdy epigram, but my cup runneth over with praise for local newcomers Weaver at the Loom."
- ComePickMeUp.com

"The compositions are full of surprising beauty, with relaxed tempos and concise, sensitive lyrics, creating a rare sensation of heightened calm"
- Jim Meyer (Former City Pages Reviewer)

"All the while songwriter Dan Smith's [and guitarist Izaac Burkhart's] impeccable vocals carry us eagerly from one song to the next"

"Inevitably, a band with songs of this stature won't be staying a secret for long..."
- Liz Jones - Emotional Punk

i hope your summer has been a blast, really! mine has flown by so fast to be honest.

i appreciate your support through all of the thick & thin times this summer and i just wanted to say...

thank you.
please accept this token of my appreciation. i have put up my first single, Saying Everything, for download. completely free, for a limited time :)

http://www.purevolume.com/braisonscott

look out for my debut album release in early 2010, music video, merch and much more. i have also changed my musician name from '<3, but more than anything' to more of a solo feel as Braison Scott. :)

but most importantly, i'd love to hear about your summer moments. everything i do is based around the drive to inspire others. i'm asking for you to inspire me. =)


yours,
braison <3
