Brandon Fitzsimons was in with Portland band Transient. The band had heard some of his recent work that started here at Soundhouse: Samothrace, Bell Witch and Anhedonist.
Brandon dropped two CDs and a Vinyl LP (Anhedonist) of at Soundhouse and I got a chance to listen to them a couple weeks ago. Brandon does a fantastic job with this music – the guitars are generally tuned down, very heavy and distorted and yet he keeps everything focused, clear, gritty and well, sufficiently “doomy”. Layered and atmospheric and powerful. The drums sound awesome.
I think I need a horse of my own.
