Mighty Brother release new album

New Orleans-based indie rock outfit Mighty Brother have been making waves in the USA and beyond for their fiercely original sound of rhythmic and cinematic rock music. Taking influence from a plethora of different styles, they filter a range of inspirations through their own sepia-toned artistic lens to create a distinct sound of indie rock that pays respectful nods to folk, funk and alternative soundscapes.

Ever since they unveiled their studio sound with their debut full-length record in 2015 with the sixteen-track album Jettison. Reprise. they’ve provided a thrilling sonic journey that’s seen them share their unique creative vision over multiple well-received releases. With expert musicianship, assured vocal performances and a knack for crafting intricate songs that charm with their melodic bliss, Mighty Brother have been going from strength-to-strength over the last several years and show no sign of slowing down.

Bringing us their latest release, they share their fourth LP with Azimuth, a concept album that recounts the journey of a mythical hero through modern society across eleven songs. Taking its title, azimuth, from the angular distance from the north or south point of the horizon to the position of a celestial object, the group found this an apt name for the album which is themed on holding on to one’s self while navigating through hardships.

Featuring the trio of singles with the album closing “The Breakers”, “Rubia Marionet” and the title track “Azimuth”, throughout the release Might Brother lay down the very best of their compelling songwriting with poignant storytelling lyricism that draws on their own experiences with loss, grief and the strength and determination to keep going.

Full of grooving rhythms, piquant instrumental touches and infectious melodic hooks, on Azimuth the exciting New Orleans act deliver a gripping musical trip as they continue to operate at the top of their game.
