Brenn – Come Back to Aria

I have no idea how I heard of these guys. Honestly, they just ended up on my computer somehow. I’m thinking a friend put it on here, or it was a free download, or God put it here. Anyhow, I like it. I really like it.

Hailing from Nashville, TN (which automatically creates suspicion in my mind), they just put out a six track disc in 2006, and I can’t find anything newer.

To me, all six tracks are just a refreshing take on the Indie genre. They’re not not super weird & they don’t try and incorporate a banjo into every other track for the sake of authenticity. They’re perhaps a bit more poppy than your average Indie band; but they frequently surprise me with their melodies. They’ll start off with what I think will be a predictive chord progression, and then they’ll end up somewhere completely different.

They’re relaxing–but not necessarily chill. They’re smooth.

This track is probably my favorite of theirs. The song is best played loud with your bass turned up, and no interruptions. The end of the song is classic, ’song within a song,’ which I’m not sure if I like. I think I do.
