Love / Media Brother Raven Get The Wire Love
Posted by Dave Segal on Thu, Jan 20, 2011 at 3:33 PM
Seattle/Portland cosmic-post-new-age-synth duo Brother Raven received a justifiably glowing review from Keith Moliné in the January 2011 issue of The Wire for their Diving Into the Pineapple Portal LP. In his review (which isn't online, for fuck's sake, but appears on page 70 in the "Avant Rock" column), Moliné wrote:
There are inevitable echoes of late 1970s Tangerine Dream (Encore, say) but they stray into all sorts of interesting areas. "Speaking Whale From My Sea Canoe" spins out feedback swirls through a delay line in a way that Soliloquy For Lilith-era Steven Stapleton would have appreciated, while the cranky "Happy Astronaut" layers stiff metallic basslines in a quietly ingenious way.
Congrats, Bro Raven. You are now on your way to infamy and misfortune.
[The track in this video isn't on Pineapple, but it's certainly worth hearing.]
