BROS Vol. 2 takes you on a technicolor journey via your ear drums. The eclectic flavours of Vol. 1 are taken to new heights. The musical scope is wider, and the worldly sonics more exotic. The power pop refrains sink their hooks deeper, the sly musical jokes sell out harder and the hard charging grooves really pack a wallop. BROS make music that is fun and colourful, the way it's supposed to be.
After boldly displaying their full musical range on the 2016 debut album Vol. 1, BROS - aka The Sheepdogs' Ewan and Shamus Currie - return with Vol. 2, an endlessly surprising new 13-track collection that's something akin to a party thrown by your friends with the best record collection. Recorded over a two-year span with producer/engineer Thomas D'Arcy in Toronto, BROS sought to expand their scope on Vol. 2 by inviting a host of collaborators, from a horn section and tabla drummer, to Sheepdogs guitarist Jimmy Bowskill (on a range of instruments he doesn't normally play) and even their father Neil Currie on piano.
The results contain something for everyone, from the Tropicalia-inspired "Sunflower" and the smooth jazz of "Clams Casino", to the lowdown funk of "Never Gonna Stop" and the vintage AM radio homages "Crazy Schemes" and "You Love This Song".
With Vol. 2, the combination of visually evocative instrumentals and finely crafted Pop and Soul nuggets is now undeniably BROS' trademark sound, one that's utterly distinct from The Sheepdogs' arena-ready, guitar-fuelled rock. As a pure studio creation, the album not only displays the Curries' dynamic creative bond, but also their playful sense of humour and easy-going relationship, something that can't often be said of fraternal musical partnerships.
