Citay
Add To My Artists

Citay is a project from ex-Piano Magic man Ezra Feinberg and Tim Green from Drag City's The Fucking Champs.

If you have heard of it at all, you know Citay's self-titled debut as one of the wiser indie releases of '06. The San Franciscan group mixed one early-'70s idea (grand, Zep-style English epics) with another (L.A. folk rock), fairly doubling up on the enchantment.

At first Citay was a studio project between Ezra and Tim, with some help from others. Now there is a live band including members of Tussle, Crime In Choir, The Dry Spells, By Land And Sea, 3 Leafs, Galactic Bunz, Horn of Dagoth and Sweet Potatoes. Citay has toured and/or shared bills with Vetiver, Six Organs Of Admittance, Howlin' Rain, The Fucking Champs, Danava, Earthless, Black Fiction, Daevid Allen (from The Soft Machine and GONG), Papercuts, and many others...

The second Citay record, Little Kingdom, was released in the autumn of 2007 to critical acclaim, delivering a more upbeat riposte to the more sombre moments on the debut.

Brazos
Add To My Artists

Brazos began as the solo recording project of Martin Crane. After two solo EPs, Crane recruited and honed a 3 piece live band and in November of 2009, Brazos released it's first LP, Phosphorescent Blues. A national tour opening for White Denim followed.

"Adrienne Rich may be one of the more influential figures in contemporary American poetry, but until Martin Crane of the Austin band Brazos fell under the spell of her poem "The Observer," she's never been known as an indie-rock muse. An unusual lynchpin to Brazos' 2009 album, Phosphorescent Blues, Rich's poem, with its exotic images and violent intimations, vibrates against Crane's principal obsessions: urban alienation, curative friendships and the absolute freedom of youthful imagination. With a sound somewhere between the jazz-rock fusions of Tim Buckley and the freaked-out folk of Neutral Milk Hotel - all stacked acoustic guitars, impetuous percussion and meandering pianos - Brazos dares listeners to dip into a bracing, deep and sometimes turbulent stream of consciousness." - Riverfront Times
