New Album Follows The Band’s Critically Acclaimed 2004 Release, Playing With The Light
June 13, 2006 (Press Release) --
"Who started this fire and left it to burn?" asks Luke Brindley on "Angel," an elegiac track from the critically acclaimed Brindley Brothers' second album, Filled With Fire. "Now look behind us, all our yesterdays are gone." The eloquent and heartfelt "Filled With Fire," follows up the band's critically acclaimed Playing With the Light released in 2004.
Brindley Brothers is a Washington, DC based band led by singer/songwriter/guitarist Luke Brindley. Luke is joined by his brother Daniel on bass, keys and vocals and brother-in-law Jared Bartlett on guitar.
In 2004, the Brindley Brothers signed to Paste Records and released "Playing With the Light," which was hailed by The Washington Post as "magical...a pop/rock gem...an early contender for one of the best albums of 2004" and was named by Paste Magazine as one of the Top 12 Debut Records of 2004 (alongside other familiar names as Franz Ferdinand, Jem, Jamie Collum and more). Rolling Stone said, "Fans of Wilco and Gin Blossoms will swoon." And fans have responded – with sold out concerts and outstanding CD sales.
Like the last album, "Filled With Fire" showcases the band's diversity and mastery of various pop styles dovetailed with smart, thoughtful lyrics - the visceral rock of "Rise Above" and "Hurricane", the power-pop of "Up All Night", the light-hearted pop of "Saturday Night", the euphoric and hopeful "Man on Fire", the mystical, meditative alt/folk of "Late Summer" and "Keep Me in Your Heart". Despite the musical variety, the songs and the performances are unified by their sincerity and passion.
"Filled With Fire" deals with the rediscovery of life, love, faith, compassion, hope, struggle and transcendence in a modern, post-belief world. "For this record, I had about 30 finished songs. We recorded a little more than half of them and 11 of those made it to the record. We took foster care of a relative's baby born addicted to heroin in 2005 and many of the songs were inspired by this experience. And, as usual, a lot of songs about New Jersey, light, highways and fire."
Filled With Fire was mixed by Jim Ebert (Butch Walker, Meredith Brooks, Matthew Ryan) and producer Jared Bartlett (guitarist in the Brindley Brothers) and mastered by Fred Kevorkian (Ryan Adams, White Stripes, Jesse Mallin).
