PREMIERE: THE BRAMBLES ‘CALIFORNIA’
Like last century’s classic film that left a mark on your heart, or the one kiss that forever lingers, “California” by the Manchester-based retro-pop band The Brambles shares a similar cinematic, nostalgic, stirring effect, adding to their collection with another elusive piece of art, the band has again rocked our world with their lavish, intricate soundscape.
Soft whispers and rhymes fluctuate in the brisk, wind-blowing drone, disappearing in the subtle, evocative, airy soundscape in motion, submerging into a surreal, ocean-like world. The bouncy synth leads the wandering thoughts. Like traveling across the ocean, gazing afar the horizon with uncertainty as the sun goes down, or looking into the abyss, seeing your own reflection, a fictional world evolves in a droning escalation with a touch of sensitivity.
“You’ll never know what you want unless it’s given to you in a shiny box. With lights and sounds and pretty girls and boys that sing their songs. “
“And with their words, create flaccid tales of escapades. (and the father that you never had).”
There’s a delicate balance between the known and the unknown. The Brambles gives you just enough hint for the wild imagination without ruining the mystery. On the flip side, “Casting Couch” is an electric track paying homage to artists that influenced their sampling style.
