The Brook & The Bluff will release their highly anticipated new album Bluebeard next month but before then are releasing another song, “Headfirst.” It’s a gorgeous, meditative song which draws heavily from the moodier and melodic beauty of Justin Vernon’s Bon Iver project.
The band expands “Everything you need to know about “Headfirst” is really just in the title of the song. It came from a time in my life where I was trying to win over someone, and I felt a little short changed because the only thing holding us back was hesitation. The only way you will know if something is going to work out is by diving in headfirst.”
The song comes off the heels of previous single “Hiding,” which features an infectious drum beat and mellow, faultless harmonies. They announced the album in June with “Long Limbs,” another masterclass in the fusion of indie-folk but with an ever so funky feel. Bluebeard already feels like a modern classic, shaped by the past but very much of and for right now.
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, this September they will hit the road to headline their biggest rooms yet, 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.
