Song of the Day - July 12, 2006

Brightback Morning Light's self-titled debut will appeal to the freak folk and hippie music fans, which seem to be increasing everyday. See the recent article Summer of Love Redux in the NY Times. I suppose it is a sign of the times: make love not war. Regardless of your political leanings, Brightback Morning Light makes beautifully languid music. The slow rhythms of their music seem completely natural as you just go with the flow and enjoy the scene. Modern day hippies, Nathan Shineywater and Rachael Hughes, have spent the last couple of years living in tents, composing songs, and making a name for themselves. They also keep good company having performed with The Espers, Vetiver, Joanna Newsom, and Devendra Banhart. "Friend of Time" is my favorite tune and a perfect introduction to the world of Brightback Morning Light. Tune in, tune out, and drop out with Brightback Morning Light. Click here to listen.
