The Brook & The Bluff is perfectly poised between the past and the present, at an unexpected crossroads where indie rock and folk-rock have found new frontiers and possibilities online. Their new album Bluebeard, will be released on September 15th via AWAL, feels like a modern classic, shaped by the past but very much of and for right now. 

Released today is the first song from the album titled “Long Limbs” a song about the highs and lows of being in love and the work that goes into a relationship but also a reminder to just be present and let yourself be with someone that makes you happy.

Frontman Joseph Settine tells us the song “Captures the feeling of being in and out of love with someone, and the limbo stages in between that test your belief in love at all. It’s about dancing around real intimacy, trying to fight it, and realizing that fight is a narrow path to life so you give in.”

The Brook & The Bluff have already made a name for themselves on the live circuit playing electric sets at Bonnaroo, Hangout, Firefly and Wonderfront. Having previously toured with Mt Joy, Noah Kahan, Rainbow Kitten Surprise amongst others, the band will headline their biggest rooms yet on a national tour starting this September, all dates can be found below. 

More on The Brook & The Bluff…..  

For a moment, conjure an image of a band of five longtime pals, writing alluring new rock classics about the frailties of love and the ennui of existence, soft and familiar as a pair of old jeans. It may look something like The Brook & The Bluff, named for the members’ respective childhood neighborhoods in Birmingham, Alabama—two brothers and some neighbors, all childhood chums. Like their road-bound rock forebears, the band followed a proven path for the better part of a decade, growing from a college-town covers duo to a hard-touring quintet.

In recent years, The Brook & The Bluff’s incandescent harmonies, winning arrangements, and observational acumen have unexpectedly put them upon a different on-ramp for success: streaming stardom. They are now, by far, one of the most successful young bands at folk-rock’s amorphous contemporary edge, fusing the craft of the past with the ideas and avenues of the present.  With a dozen songs that won’t let go, their forthcoming third album, Bluebeard, makes an unequivocal case as to why.
