Chris Brokaw - "8 or 9 Things"


Chris Brokaw is one of the most prolific musicians out there. In the four years since his album Puritan, he's released music and/or played with The Martha's Vineyard Ferries, Chris Brokaw Rock Band, Lupo Citta, Come, and most likely more that I'm missing. Now he's back with a brand new solo song and an upcoming album. "8 or 9 Things" doesn't sound like Puritan, but if you're a long time fan of his this will fit right into his sound for you. It's heavy on distortion and fuzz, and is more than a little hypnotic and haunting. Brokaw's vocals almost sound like they're coming from another realm, while his guitar dances lightly around you. As captivating and oddly beautiful as "8 or 9 Things" is, it's somehow both calming and anxiety inducing. Once again, Chris Brokaw is blowing our minds, multiple decades into his career.

You can listen to "8 or 9 Things" below. Ghost Ship is due out April 28 on 12XU, and is available for pre-order through Bandcamp. For more on the artist, check out his website.
