Brazos

Biography

Brazos began as the solo recording project of Austinite Martin Crane. After two solo EPs, Crane recruited and honed a 3 piece live band and in November of 2009, Brazos released it’s first LP, Phosphorescent Blues. It was met with critical acclaim from independent music bloggers nationwide and earned Crane and Brazos comparisons to Andrew Bird and Broken Social Scene. “With a sound somewhere between the jazz-rock fusions of Tim Buckley and the freaked-out folk of Neutral Milk Hotel — all stacked acoustic guitars, impetuous percussion and meandering pianos — Brazos dares listeners to dip into a bracing, deep and sometimes turbulent stream of consciousness.” – Riverfront Times
