Very excited to share with you the first single "Repeating" from Brian John McBrearty's newest album Remembering Repeating on the newly minted label Love Beyond Measure Records. McBrearty's work has been called “an awesome through line between Zuma, Marquee Moon and The Days of Wine and Roses" by Aquarium Drunkard. On his latest, McBrearty lets out a massive exhalation. Situated in the neighborhood of spiritual jazz and heady post-rock, Remembering Repeating bears endless repeats.
The first single "Repeating" is out today. Here's a bit about it:
“Repeating” is the first single from Remembering Repeating, Brian John McBrearty’s latest album of instrumentals featuring McBrearty on synthesizers, saxophonist Matt Douglas (The Mountain Goats), and drummer Ryan Jewell (Woods, Chris Forsyth). Opening with a tape echo drenched bass solo from Ithaca, NY-based musician Sunk Coast, the track coalesces around a simple half-note saxophone melody played over a jaunty beat and McBrearty’s descending, syncopated synth lines that sound straight out of a Tangerine Dream soundtrack. While the original melody repeats, the melody is then duplicated and displaced by a quarter note; the saxophone is eating its own tail. Literally “Repeating” in real time, Douglas takes the concept and runs with it—layering sax and flute and weaving the theme of repetition into his improvisation. As Jewell’s drum patterns gradually multiply from quarter notes to eighth notes to sixteenth notes, ratcheting up the intensity, Douglas’ saxophone lines twist and turn around one another, dancing in unison, veering off on tangents and then returning, until the song reaches its climax with the saxes blaring the song’s staggered melodic theme one last time before returning to baseline."
