brookhaven perform a certain hybrid of electro-avant and
drone-rock out of Oakland, California, constructing originative instrumental
passages by way of bombinating electric guitars, warbling synths, incisive
drumming and various programming, with a sharp ear for fusing their atypical
arrangements with a rapturous melodic sensibility. culminating close to
a years production efforts, the groups new ‘Transitive Verses’
LP is a singular and futuristic audio landscape which drifts seamlessly
between reflective shoegazing melodies, dreamy electronic pop and cavernous
drone passage. featuring the production work and performances of Sonny
James, Bret Winans (DRSLONE), Nick Andre, Ryohei Hinokuma and Clay Payton,
'Transitive Verses' evolves the hypnotically textured repetition of 2001's
'Everything That Rises Must Rise' into a remarkable series of mid-fi sound
collages and full-band arrangements compiled from session recordings over
the past several years...as elucidating to behold as it is to hear.
