Label:	THRILL JOCKEY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	THR 070CD

"Brokeback is Douglas McCombs (Tortoise, 11th Dream Day, Pullman). Through Brokeback, Douglas has sought to explore something not as densely structured as his other musical outings with a focus on rhythm and texture. The idea with Brokeback is to keep things simple and let the melodies hang in the air. By the nature of this decision the music is sparse, but not without sounding full and realized." Features contributions from Noel Kuppersmith & Rob Mazurek (Chicago Underground), Josh Abrams (Sam Prekop, Town & Country), John Herndon & John McEntire (Tortoise).

Label:	THRILL JOCKEY
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	THR 091CD

"What originally began as a solo project for Doug McCombs (Eleventh Dream Day, Tortoise, Pullman), has increasingly become more and more of a collaborative effort, now officially a duo with the addition of bassist Noel Kupersmith (Chicago Underground Quartet). The new EP explores further collaborative territory, as Brokeback are joined by friends such as James McNew (Yo La Tengo), Mary Hansen (Stereolab), Alan Licht (Run On, Love Child, solo), Tim Folijahn (Two Dollar Guitar, Cat Power) and the Calexico duo of Joey Burns and John Convertino."

Title:	Looks At The Bird
Label:	THRILL JOCKEY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	THR 120CD

"Brokeback began when Douglas McCombs set out to create music in a less dense and structured environment then that of his other musical outfits at the time, Tortoise and Eleventh Dream Day. Yet contradictory to the 'loose' structure of Morse, the focus of Looks at The Bird was for more traditional arrangements, All the songs maintain a verse-chorus-verse progression along with a strong metered underpinning. The arrangements are layered with strings and keyboard elements, as well as vocals, drums and rhythm programming. Brokeback's Looks at the Bird should nestle comfortably into your record collection between those Air and Coltrane records."
