thebrotheregg - Snowflake & Fingerprint Machine (CD, Rubric, Pop)
Ultimately satisfying obscure pop music with a difference. thebrotheregg have come into their current public consciousness through their association with The Bevis Frond's Nick Saloman. The two acts played a live show together back in 1998 after which "the egg" sent their demo tapes around to several labels. Saloman loved the tapes, and signed them to his Woronzow label (the British label that is closely associated with Rubric). Listening to Snowflake & Fingerprint Machine, the connection between Nick and this Portland band seems obvious. thebrotheregg play what is best described as underground pop. Interestingly, despite the high quality of the material on this album, this band will most likely be supported by a tiny fragment of the music listening community. The main reason is that there are no potential hits on this album. Overall, the feeling we get when listening to this is the same general reaction we have when listening to Sparklehorse. The tunes are subtle and grow on the listener slowly. Unlike Sparklehorse, these gentlemen use a great deal of three part harmonies that are most inviting (a bit reminiscent of Pink Floyd at times). This album won't hit you over the head...but will instead creep under your skin and stay with you for years to come. Another great item from the fine folks at Rubric... (Rating: 5+)
