THE BRACKISH
The Brackish are a 4-piece experimental band from Bristol, UK. First formed in 2012, the band have released five albums and are finalising their sixth.
Constantly evolving, the band draws inspiration from a wide range of musical influences, art, films, places and people.
The Brackish sound is characterised by its use of dynamics, long-form composition and improvisation. Face melting heavyness gives way to gentle, spacious soundscapes within a single composition. Kraut-like grooves, polyrhythms, violent melodic statements and psychedelic, freeform improvisation are present in equal measure. Always expressed with a strong emphasis on melody and narrative, aiming to take the listener on journeys of much needed escapism.
“ PWYC! Delirious instrumental post-punk / post-jazz / post-prog genre-melters for your enraptured ears! The Brackish tie together idiosyncratic artistry and psychedelic experimentalism, side by side with The Flag Fen Project’s esoteric industrial druidism. Essential FFO: Frank Zappa, Gentle Giant, John Zorn, Elephant9, The Jelas, These New Puritans."
