4 previously unreleased studio tracks have been released from the vaults - including the final studio sessions with brother Hamish, in the States and Australia.
You'll hear everything you've come to expect from your mongrel brothers - lots of didgeridoos, bagpipes and driving rhythms, along with the classic brother harmonies, singing to you from out of time. Songs very Australian. And a very different, intimate version of 'Crazy'.
We've also included a live version of one of Angus' new songs - 'Divine Right' - recorded at the final show of 2011. We just liked the vibe on this one, and it seemed to fit in with the feel of the other songs ...
Says Angus: "it was a quite the trip to pull these tracks up again and hear songs we've never put on a cd - some of the last songs i wrote and recorded with my brother hamish. the first 2 songs on the EP are pieces hamish began. i really enjoyed finishing writing these very aussie sounding, aussie inspired tracks with him and hearing them always brings him to my mind ... even tho we were happy with how they all sounded, none of the studio tracks had ever found a home on a cd before now. it feels like the right time to honour them - the last of the old brother sound - before we move on."

out from under. In mid-2007 BROTHER became a powerhouse trio. We realized then that a live album was how we first wanted to capture the new BROTHER sound. And so, this is it. Our sound.
Now.
The first BROTHER album recorded in Australia. The band set up a few microphones on the verandah of a farmhouse deep in the Aussie bush land and began playing. Most songs were done in one take, coming to life as BROTHER played them and capturing the feeling of the magical environment in which the lads found themselves. As the tracks pass you by, you will experience one day as it unfolds in the Australian bush.
A collection of 20 favourite songs from the first 13 years of BROTHER, voted for by you. We think you chose well. Includes a powerful remix/remake by Dave Dale of the first BROTHER tune ('The Machine', recorded in 1991) to ever use bagpipes.
We really wanted to capture the feel of how we were playing these songs live. All the basic tracks went down nice and quick, just like we were on stage. Overdubbing was a magic experience with some very talented friends helping us weave a real middle eastern atmosphere through the whole album.
This dvd really captures where we were that year. Back on the road with Dalbo again. Playing shows. Doing workshops. Making videos. Trying to explain what it is we do. Brothers Bob and Sam did an amazing job directing and editing this offering.
Custom BROTHER Didges made by DidgeriDrew
$55 + $10 shipping
Says Drew... "I decided to bring back the 2" diameter C didge because that is the one that I learned on and it has a resonance that I have always found grounding when played at our shows."
These didgeridoos are a 2" diameter, hand painted with the "Humans" logo by DidgeriDrew, coated with a UV resistive gloss, signed and numbered. Beeswax mouth pieces to ensure sealed airflow. Made from a plastic resin that is easy to clean and is nearly indestructible, these didgeridoos are a great way to get you started playing.
You can play along with some BROTHER tunes such as "Time is Now", "Bitch", "The Unknown", and "The Crow"

Rhubarb Records, 2010
One Day. The first BROTHER album recorded in Australia. The band set up a few microphones on the verandah of a farmhouse deep in the Aussie bush land and began playing. Most songs were done in one take, coming to life as BROTHER played them and capturing the feeling of the magical environment in which the lads found themselves. As the tracks pass you by, you will experience one day as it unfolds in the Australian bush.

We really push our own creative envelope with some of these tracks. The band was feeling powerful. It remains a pretty quirky little offering.
Rhubarb Records 2001
Recorded at The Coach House a few weeks into our first few shows after having been off the road for nine months when we'd turned our big van into a rollercoaster in the desert. We definitely caught the high energy bagpipes and rock 'n' roll vibe of the time.
