Brasstronaut - Mean Sun: (Year-End Album Review)

A preview of my forthcoming annual, year-end, favourite albums post. Below is an album that is definitely under consideration - time will tell where it ends up on, or off, the final list.

It's always a difficult task to put into words just what makes Brasstronaut's music so compelling; it is intelligent without being too complicated on the surface. The variety and quality of the instrumentation draw you in and give the album a great depth that allows for new discoveries even on repeated listens. When this first arrived I was driven to wrap my head around it and would spin it day after day just trying to get it all. There's a depth to it that anyone can enjoy.

Feel free to check out last year's list or my Top Albums lists dating back to 2002 on my previous Vernacular blog.
