Middle Brother

Middle Brother is collaboration between Deer Tick's John McCauley, Dawes' Taylor Goldsmith, and Delta Spirit frontman Matt Vasquez which debuted as MG&V at the 2010 South by Southwest music gathering.  The groups self titled full length will be out on March 1st, but they've already given everyone a sneak peek at a couple of tracks which display the nice range of sounds we might expect from this record.

The between-the-sheets sweetness of "Daydreaming" nicely clashes with the slammed piano keys and dissonant guitar solo in "Me, Me, Me" .

While all of these players blend a mixture of American roots influences in their individual projects, it will be interesting to see how the Laurel Canyon folk pop influences of Goldsmith mix with the harder edges of McCauley and the foot stomping fun of Vasquez. 

 

Check out the full tracklisting for the new album and the bands upcoming tour dates.
