The Brook & The Bluff is perfectly poised between the past and the present, at an unexpected
crossroads where indie rock and folk-rock have found new frontiers and possibilities online.
Their new album Bluebeard feels like a modern classic, shaped by the past but very much of
and for right now. The first song from the album titled “Long Limbs” is a song about the highs
and lows of being in love and the work that goes into a relationship but also a reminder to just
be present and let yourself be with someone that makes you happy.
In recent years, The Brook & The Bluff’s incandescent harmonies, winning arrangements, and
observational acumen have unexpectedly put them upon a different on-ramp for success:
streaming stardom. They are now, by far, one of the most successful young bands at folk-rock’s
amorphous contemporary edge, fusing the craft of the past with the ideas and avenues of the
present.
The Brook & The Bluff have already made a name for themselves on the live circuit playing
electric sets at Bonnaroo, Hangout, Firefly and Wonderfront. Having previously toured with Mt
Joy, Noah Kahan, Rainbow Kitten Surprise amongst others, this fall the band will embark on
their most ambitious North American headline tour yet.
