Brooks Thomas (experimental pop) share music video for “Gravity” from their new album Poison (out now!)
The songs that comprise Poison are representative of the bands’ alchemic blend of influences. Based in the Bronx, Brooks Thomas concocts unconventional electronic R&B that’s inspired by classic soul and artists like Dirty Projectors and Miguel. Exploring new ways to reach those emotional heights, producer Danny McDonald began utilizing experimental production techniques and pushing their bassist Rocky Russo toward toying with unorthodox pedals to change the songs’ textures, along with having their dual singers Colleen Cadogan and Arianne Lombardi create three-part harmonies that deviate from the standard 1-3-5. All of it lives as a creative feedback loop, the recordings affecting the live show affecting the recordings. Together, Brooks Thomas has taken everything from their uptown world — their helter-skelter neighborhood, the flowing alcohol, their sundry influences, the prolonged heartbreak — and distilled it into Poison, a rare, inimitable album. Stunning even as it burns, it’s a toxin well worth drinking down.
Hear Nathan Bowles’ newest single “Fresh & Fairly So”

It’s not a celebratory tune per se, but it’s far from navel-gazing, which can be my default mode if I’m not too careful.”
