Back to the Woods
Self-Released

Early on in the track “First of Things,” you realize The Brew has hit upon a dream hook that is filled with breathtaking magnitude. It is that sense of adventurous discovery that informs the cuts on the modern prog-rock tandem’s latest release, the deceptively-titled Back to the Woods. They, somehow, instinctually know how to write a catchy song… heck, pick any random track—“Control,” has unique elements of lyrical jazz hinged to a cool groove, “Black Train,” is a pop rock throwdown, “Castle Walls” shifts your ethereal molecules, and the aforementioned “First of Things” features a gorgeous song structure. The New England Brewsters have taken a few well-considered steps into the realm of really good songwriters that rock, transcending even themselves at times.
