The New Brutarians - New Muse

  


  The last song I posted on here was by The Courettes and they're a band who bring the sounds of the 60's into the modern age. Similar can be said of St. Petersburg, Florida, duo The New Brutarians (https://www.facebook.com/thenewbrutarians). Although channelling maybe more of an early 70's vibe they're another band who transport us back in time without sounding dated. A look at their influences reveals that their record collections contain music from the likes of Alex Chilton, Nikki Sudden, Lou Reed, Dogs D'amour, Tronics, Rolling Stones, Modern Lovers, Leonard Cohen, Johnny Thunders etc. They aren't a carbon copy of any of them but do cherry pick the best bits.

  Lining up with Christina Wright (Drums & Vocals) and Adam Turkel (Guitars/Bass/Keyboards /Vocals), they've been around since 2018 and you can check out their music here :  https://thenewbrutarians.bandcamp.com/

  They're gearing up for the release of a new album titled Hysteria and have paved the way for it with a teaser single. The New Muse ep features 3 non album b sides (Barter Baby (I'll Trade You My Heart), The New Brutarian and a cover of Fleetwood Mac's Go Your Own Way) as well as a title track that does a great job of ramping up expectations.

  It's a mix of dream pop and rock n roll who's Fleetwood Mac Rumours sleeve has me wondering if it's about Stevie Nicks & Mick Fleetwood. I'm not sure if that's right or not but I do know it's a very good song. This is New Muse...
