Every so often you stumble across a little left-field surprise with no pomp or fanfare - Brother (no relation to awful lad-rock outfit
But there's clearly more to this experimental chamber pop than meets the eye. For one, the low-key release for songs and teaser videos that definitely have a hefty budget behind them. Then the fact that there's virtually no information on them anywhere, not even a Twitter handle, and that their announcements are all based around an entity called 'cube'. Finally, with the "where have I heard it before" indie vocal over Radiohead-inspired tunes, we wouldn't be surprised if someone's pulling a craftier iamamiwhoami on us... hopefully with a better payoff.
All of this is of course a compliment, even if false. The fact that everything is so polished, so wonderful, makes Brother the single biggest surprise package of 2013. Grab it now before the secret's out.
