Really interesting mix of dissonant, post-punk energy and exotic post-traditional sounds in this second album from Brute Heart, a trio out of Minneapolis. The free single “Blindfolded” has an unsettling balance of sustained drones and staccato rhythms, a bit of whirling dervish in its ghostly overtones, a touch of Delta 5 in its skittish propulsion.
The album, called Lonely Hunter is out now on Soft Abuse.

About Me
The government wants you to know...
Many of the albums and dvds that I review are sent to me, free, by record labels and bands. Also many more that I do not review. Sometimes I get into shows free, too.

I like this song much more than Sea Pony! And it's on one of my favorite labels, Soft Abuse! Thanks for posting this, Jen. The Carson McCullers allusions are pretty amusing, too.
Nice post! I recently stumbled onto your blog and am impressed. Looking forward to more!
Thank you, Lorenzo, I'm glad you like it.
Andrew, I like the Sea Pony, too, but it seems kind of ephemeral and almost too pretty to stick, if you know what I mean. This is a lot more prickly and difficult -- and interesting -- in my view.
