“Alex Nahas and Nick Smeraski of Bright Brown bring an ideal soundtrack to the crisp, autumn air... Sounds range from sparse and repetitive like a piece for avant-garde dance to expansive and melodic like the theme from a western where everyone dies in the same pool of blood... Fans of Brian Eno, Nick Drake, and John Cale should check these guys out. - WSP”

““...comes at you with dark heart and plea...Nahas' voice is heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time, the music layering over and under like sweet and sorrow...lose yourself in the world of the songs and learn something about where inner and outer landscapes meet.””

— Arielle Guy, Turntable And Blue Light

"...brilliant songs, full of pathos and alienation, but sweetened with strong doses of optimism. From the desiccate ‘Like Texas’ to the plaintive and even more parched ‘King of Thirst’, this music often broods along with us, but Bright Brown never fails to counter our collective agita with healthy doses of climactic major chords and high-arcing vocal choruses. Here are echoes of Leonard Cohen and Nick Drake, but with much more urgency. "
