The Bros Landreth release new album today!

The acclaimed Canadian duo, The Bros. Landreth finally release their new album Come Morning, marking both a rebirth and refinement of the JUNO-winning band’s blend of North American roots music and harmony-heavy soul. Listen HERE.   With a string of single releases already this year, The Bros. Landreth have been winning acclaim from the likes of MOJO Magazine, Maverick Magazine and Americana UK and many more, plus radio support from BBC Radio 2.  To celebrate the release of the album the brothers release another new video, this time for the brilliant “Don’t Feel Like Cryin” featuring Leith Ross.   The most immersive, emotive record of the Landreths’ career, ‘Come Morning’ finds brothers Joey and Dave lacing their melody-driven songs with layers of atmospheric synth, organ, and textured guitar. The group’s previous albums shone a light on their strength as a live act, capturing the spontaneity and sonic stomp of a band of hard-touring road warriors. If those records unfolded like snapshots of The Bros. Landreth’s night-time shows, then ‘Come Morning’ sketches a markedly different picture, showcasing the introspection and clarity that comes with a long period of rest.   Forced to keep a tight circle due to Covid restrictions, Joey and Dave made ‘Come Morning’ in near-seclusion, pulling long hours in the studio and building songs one instrument at a time. They recorded, layered, stripped away, and layered again. Sounds were sampled, re-sampled, and twisted into something new. Prioritizing moody textures over fiery fretwork, Joey took an understated approach to the guitar, saving his big solos for key moments. He placed an equal emphasis on keyboards, beefing up the recordings with Hammond organ and analog synth. Slowly, steadily, the Landreths pieced together a transportive album built for the heart, the head, and the headphones. This time, the songs weren’t the only thing telling a story; the sounds told a story, too.   This record marks a new dawn for The Bros. Landreth, whilst featuring appearances from Leith Ross (whose 2020 debut was released on the Landreth’s record label, Birthday Cake) and drummers Aaron Sterling and Daniel Roy, at the album’s core are the Landreths themselves: two born-to-collaborate brothers who sing songs about hard truths and new beginnings, having been brought back together during a time of unprecedented isolation.   READ OUR REVIEW OF THE NEW RECORD HERE!

Review: ‘Come Morning’ – The Bros Landreth

Canadian outfit, The Bros Landreth, made up of Joey and Dave have returned with their latest record ‘Come Morning’. What strikes me upon first listen is the spacious and somewhat dreamy soundscapes they create with the production and arrangement which gives the brother’s melody room to breathe. It opens with the laid-back ‘Stay’ which draws upon their experiences of life on the road. The chorus melody gets stuck in your head after one listen, what sounds like a hammond B3 lays the foundations for the vocals which is a lovely addition. The stand out track comes in the form of ‘Don’t Feel Like Crying’ which features Leith Ross. The emotion is raw on this track, the organ and slide guitar helping to create a sense of loneliness and longing. As for the collaboration, it was as if Leith was made to sing with the brothers. Despite this heartbreaking addition, the overriding theme is one of positivity as the up-beat ‘Drive All Night’ shows. The level of musicianship on this track in particular is exemplary. This record is The Bros Landreth at their very best, and we’re looking forward to watching them bring these songs to life in a live setting as they tour in September.
