Free Music Notes for Brother, Sister
Free Music Review: "You see my coins are counterfeit, but you accept them anyway."
Hit: 5 Stars
I cannot remember a band's first three albums each being so individually distinct and yet each so completely successful. `Brother Sun Sister Moon' is a more accessible album than `Catch for us the Foxes' or `A-->B'. My wife liked it by her third time through (where it probably took 20 listens and a concert for her to lukewarm up to Foxes). I have started giving it as a gift to those who I think might not put in the solid six to ten listens it took me to fall in love with MWY's earlier stuff. Catch for us the Foxes remains my favorite album but Brother Sun Sister Moon takes a close second place
Gone are the ubiquitous references to suicide in favor allusions to gardening, soil and spiders. Aaron seems oddly at home in more mature, settled themes and the musical style is softer and makes increased use of a thing other artists like to call melody. From the opening sounds of a soft but building rainfall it was clear that we were getting yet another experimental album, and we were better off for it. Honestly, the tone was very Franciscan, if you will (damaged but life giving spirituality, animals as messengers of beauty and hard, rewarding work in the soil) as its title might suggest. Yet there is still plenty of the gruff, disorienting syncopated poetry that made me fall in love with Foxes. I think it is the lovely strangeness of the style that gives these CD's the refreshing quality of inexhaustible listenability.
Messes of Men is my run away favorite song, a painfully insightful track about restlessness and contentment, through an uncannily successful metaphor. In a Sweater Poorly Nit is next (see excerpt below). Cminor is a deeply spiritual song with painfully honest lyrics. I love that Aaron can weave poetry about a little mouse, his lonely father and his sexuality (or lack there of) into a single beautiful verse. In a market Dimly Lit has many of the best lines. There really isn't a bad song on the CD. I recommend it highly.
you're a door without a key,
a field without a fence
you made a holy fool of me
and I've thanked you ever since.
if she comes circling back
we'll end where we'd begun
like two pennies on the train track
the train crushed into one
or if I'm a crown without a king,
if I'm a broken open seed
if I come without a thing,
then I come with all I need
