Music Monday | Middle Brother: "Blue Eyes"

I can't say enough about my love for Middle Brother. Very much enjoying their self-titled debut album. This supergroup is formed from the lead singer of one of my favorite bands Delta Spirit, as well as the lead singers of Deer Tick & Dawes. Here's "Blue Eyes" featuring (Matthew Vasquez of Delta Spirit) and an interview (colorful language). Also highly recommend Delta Spirit: History From Below and Ode to Sunshine.

"Daydreaming" by Middle Brother

If you haven't taken my advice to pick up the new self-titled Middle Brother album, I get it. You aren't rich. You can't buy everything out there that is supposed to be "good." Neither can I. But. BIG BUT. Just watch this video of them (& friends) singing their opening track, "Daydreaming." Then try to resist buying it. That's all I ask.
