My Brother Daniel

Earlier, before the new year, I had a day with My Brother Daniel, a local noise-electronic artist from Salem, MA & had the supreme pleasure of taking his interview.

I met MBD at a show at Gay Gardens in October that was an all out lively mess.  I saw him perform, then Dino Felipe, This Heart Electric, & Hypnic Jerk while enjoying myself to the utmost.

I was quite taken with MBD's performance so I spoke to him right after his set.  He introduced me to the venue really well, and I was taken with his hostage.  He told me about Dino & Ricardo & his own projects & came off very knowledgeable.  I bought a tape from him and our friendship began.

The day I taped the interview I showed up at the train station & MBD came & got me.  We quickly got to his place and he had a few minutes to show me his apartment, get me tea, and show me his equipment before our friend arrived & soon we set to work.
Interview: 

My Brother Daniel has a new release scheduled for February 27th with Dino Felipe, which when released will be available to for purchase & download here:

this home-made disc was given to me at the santa swap of 2009 at Nick's house in Brighton, MA.  it turned out to be one classic album in the year two thousand one one, putting us together despite his living in Korea.


for those unfamiliar to Nick's music it has the lo-fi sentimental feel of ariel pink with a softer ambience accompanied by indistinct vocals.


when i got the album i got stuck on the trackless info in my music player, and i got the idea to name the titles myself, so i named them calling the album originally "Reese Perro"


Nick's thoughts in an email dated 2/9/2010:


"luke,
       Alot of these are really great. It's funny to see someone's interpretation of the lyrics, since I purposely obfuscate them to the point of being left open to interpretation. i'd like to use a few of these over the original titles, but I thought it was particularly funny that you chose to name a song "bleach shirt" that was originally titled "filthy jeans" (weird, right?)

       Also I'm not sure why, but the album art you sent is not appearing


i'm glad you liked it though. we should have a jam sometime in the near future
