The Moore Brothers should be so much bigger than they currently are. What’s the holdup? Their new release, Murdered By The Moore Brothers, came out March 28 and so far (aside from 1 post by Bars and Guitars) hasn’t made a dent on the blogosphere. I suspect part of the neglect is the fact that they don’t record for a bigger label. They’re on Plain Recordings which has the rights to some Flaming Lips vinyl and released the first Cat Power and also last years Wingdale Community Singers disc.
Are they too gentle and sensitive for indie rock (Sufjan did it)? Too eclectic for folk? Too esoteric? Intelligent? I don’t know but I do know that if all these baby boomers who grew up with Simon and Garfunkel and Crosby, Stills and Nash could hear this they’d abandon their Concert in the Park and reunion discs and put The Moore Brothers on repeat. You can buy it here now directly from the band.
