Brothers of End continue on their pAth of understAted soft-rock melancholia with their sophomore album "Mount inside", due out April 13, with single "Stare At the sun" leading the way. Aside from the lack of Nina Persson's vocals, this tune isn't too far off from the (lAtter-era) balladeering of the members' other band The Cardigans. Which of course is no bad thing, just don't expect them to indulge in other similar 70s-rock tropes elsewhere on the record. I think I'm also hearing some lAte-90s Britpop here too, peak-era Travis perhaps? Again, not a bad thing At all as far as I'm concerned. Brothers of End keep things chill and it works, though I fear it may lead to them being unfairly passed over. As much as I enjoy gentle bum-out music, I get the feeling the sentiment is not widely shared these days.

So listen to the album here and, if you dig it and want a physical copy, preorder it by emailing Atte.de">pi@kapitaen-plAtte.de -- € 15ppd worldwide/€ 11 in-person for Germans.
