Our Brother The Native

w/ Nighty Night, Honey & Darling, and Wires & Waves

FatCat Records (Sigur Ros, Black Dice, Mum) darlings Our Brother the Native challenges typical conventions of post-rock, blending it with freak folk, experimental, and electro-acoustic to create haunting, ethereal hymns. Discovered online in late 2005, Our Brother The Native’s debut album, ‘Tooth and Claw’, was released in July 2006, and followed by the texturally expansive, ‘Make Amends, For We Are Merely Vessels’ (February 2008), and an EP, ‘Parting Marrows’ (October 2008). Easily their strongest work to date, the band’s third full-length, ‘Sacred Psalms’, sees them pushing into further fresh territory, extending previous gains whilst retaining a sense of the band’s originality. Alongside some stunning recent live shows, it bears witness to OBTN’s rapid, continuing growth and comprises a very bold and ambitious musical vision. Although still a fairly young band, Our Brother the Native is already carving a niche out for themselves within their scene, having toured Europe with friends Animal Collective and currently planning a nationwide tour this summer.
