A Dublin band that builds quiet tension into loud, textured releases.
For their range, listen to 'Last Breath' and 'Division Of Man' back to back. 'Bear' still feels like their signature move.
Their songs like 'Bear' and 'Machines (part II)' show how they work that atmospheric heaviness, building from quiet tension to loud, textured releases. 'Providence' and 'Poison!' reflect the balance they strike between expansive sound and grounded feeling. They've kept making this kind of music through lineup changes and industry friction, including plagiarism accusations around a 2013 single that were later dismissed.
O'Brother formed in Dublin in 2006 around Anthony Toner and Keith Farrell. Their guitarist David McDonnell died in 2010, which was a difficult period, but they continued with members like Alana Henderson on bass and vocals. They've released albums including 'The Great Divide' in 2010 and 'Ascension' in 2013.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
