Danish five-piece Rainbrother have released their endearing debut album Tales From The Drought, out now via General Bird and available to buy on iTunes and stream on Spotify.
To celebrate the release, the band have shared their latest single Juggler, which can be streamed via Rainbrother’s Soundcloud page now.
The video for the band’s previous single Blue premiered on The 405, which you can also watch via Rainbrother’s YouTube channel along with the video for Break Out.
After the success of psychedelic folk outfit The Migrant, frontman Bjarke Bendtsen is ready to transcend furthermore into electronic folk-rock territory with the release of his latest project Rainbrother’s debut album.
Tales From The Drought is all about making your way whilst on the road, dwelling on memories both beautiful and troublesome and coming to terms with the decisions that have been made. Album opener ‘Riverside’ is a stunning piece of songwriting that carries you away into the abyss and as the album continues, so do your thoughts. Each one a little more comforting than the next. Tales From The Drought invites the listener into a speckled dream, filled with steady beats, wistful Pink Floyd inspired guitar slides and a storytelling charm akin to the likes of Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver.
Rainbrother was formed after Bjarke eventually found his way back to Copenhagen. While touring with The Migrant in Europe, he performed with a group of fellow Danish musicians and after moving back to his home turf, Rainbrother was born. The album was produced by Noah Georgeson (The Strokes, Joanna Newsom, Devendra Banhart) whose flickering elements have been spun into the group’s tight rock sound making Tales From The Drought both an earthy and elevating affair.
Bjarke has already received praise from numerous well-regarded publications including Rolling Stone, Americana UK, Drowned In Sound and Pop Matters to name but a few. He has also been praised by the likes of BBC 6music’s Lauren Laverne and has supported acts such as Kurt Vile, Villagers and Sharon Van Etton. Rainbrother will also be performing at the upcoming SXSW festival in 2017 along with the following live dates:
23rd February 2017 - Castle Hotel - Manchester
24th February 2017 - The Glad Cafe - Glasgow
25th February 2017 - The Adelphi - Hull
13th - 19th March 2017 - SXSW - Austin TX
Tales From The Drought is out now via General Bird and is available to buy on iTunes and stream on Spotify.
