The Brownies - Means to an end on NR One records



The Brownies
Means to an End
NR One records
Released 29/10/07
edition: 250 on Blue vinyl


'Means to end' from the Brownies

The Brownies make no apologies for 'liking a bit of mainstream' from time to time. Their myspace reads like a bad yearbook joke of likes and dislikes. Everything from Bob Marley to Grand Theft Auto to Allen Ginsburg is listed as an influence. Are they covering all their bases or just trying to see how many things they could possibly fit on a list.

Their first single on NR One records sounds like it includes a little of everything musically as well. They have taken the two guitar theory, the bloc party quick helicopter scale double layered notes followed by the explosions of power chords chorus. Handclaps on top of snares. The chorus repeats one time and then the bassline burrows in. If it sounds like a formula it's not. Sophie matches the hard and soft, her voice floating up to crash down in in this hardly 3 minute punk inspired but polished pop charmer.

The b-side? Well your guess is as good as mine, it wasn't posted anywhere, but if it's half as good as the A-side, go pick up one of these 7"' which have been severly limited to 250 copies. They will be gone fast.
