MP3 Brett Bixby - City Lights
10 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Acoustic, FOLK: like Joni
Details:
Brett Bixby is an independent songwriter out of Long Beach,
Ca, who is harnessing his swiss army knife repetoire and potent cadre of friends to make new music that is both intimate and expansive. His new 10 song album ''City Lights'' is an album grown from the ground up - a record of honesty and beauty that you can listen through.
Bixby is known for turning a phrase in simple but unexpected ways. Statements like "the holes among the truth are like the stars along the sky, they''re easier to see without the city lights" and "your listening tree, is losing its leaves" appear straightforward, but when taken with the lushly spare musical backdrop they feel more like the large roots you can see just above the surface. He honed is craft while frontman of the l.b. outfit Twelvehourmary. The headstrong band, with the analog production talents of
Rich Mouser, created an independent rock record with a true spirit. For fans of fat guitars and propulsive grooves, this is a gem in the rough available at https://www.tradebit.com While working on the twelvehourmary album, Bixby also collaborated with a wide range of folks including Rocco Deluca, The Dibs and Chris Paul Overall - all friends within a Long Beach collective who conspired to create together out of the underground warehouse known as The Space. These time-fired friendships continue to bear fruit and ripe friends make for interesting music.
Fast forward. CITY LIGHTS is now available at https://www.tradebit.com. It features the production of Chris Karn (mastermind of Deccatree) and the wide-ranging talents of wingman Stuart Richardson. Brett has filled in the blanks with a cross section of cream-of-the-crop local luminaries including friends from Deccatree, Buchanan, Pawnshop Kings, Fielding, Resident Hero and New Earth Mud. The resulting musical pieces are like audio polaroids colored with the subtle touches of an inspired cast. From the string-laden latticework of fireside to the dream-stitched intimacy of spilling, ''City Lights'' hits an easy stride and the music is a reflection of an ability to stretch into newfound spaces. These songs are like places where atmosphere and melody mingle with hues of folk, rock and pop. They breathe in and breathe out.
Outside of a new album born of hard work and spare time, Brett is also a member of the southern california tour-de-force known as Buchanan. (https://www.tradebit.com Buchanan has just released their new True Love ep to packed audiences in L.A. and the band is on the verge of taking their fans to a much larger audience.
(True Love EP now available @ https://www.tradebit.com).
