Hailing from Austin’s fertile indie music scene, Brazos began as the solo recording project of songwriter Martin Crane, who debuted his smart, lyrical songs in late 2007 with the acclaimed EPs Feeding Frenzy and A City Just as Tall.

2008 and ‘09 found the band opening up for likes of Grizzly Bear, Shearwater, Vampire Weekend, and the Bowerbirds among others, taping an Austin City Limits Stage Left episode, and recording live sessions for WOXY and Daytrotter, all the while working on the first full length.

Their Debut LP Phosphorescent Blues, out Nov. 10th, is a densely layered combination of back alley folk, jazz, and dance floor ready rhythms. SC got an early copy of Phosphorescent Blues, it’s fantastic. We’re excited for the High Noon Saloon & Lincoln Hall shows (see full tour schedule below). Tracks from Phosphorescent Blues below.
