In stark contrast to Chris Brokaw's (Come, Codeine, Pullman, New Year, et al.) prior 12XU albums, Incredible Love is a full electric-with-vocals affair, comprising nine new Brokaw originals, the co-authored (with Tom Morgan) "My Idea," and a cover of Suicide's "I Remember." Easily Brokaw's most powerful work to date, the album showcases his deft touch as a guitarist and knack for songwriting. Guests include David Curry (Empty House Collective), Noah Chasin, Kevin Coultas (Rodan), Jeff Goddard (Karate [ read more ]

Soundtrack from the Roddy Bogawa film, as performed by the inimitable Brokaw. Guitar bliss-out. Deftly delivered by the man whose previous pedigree has few peers (Come, Pullman, The New Year, and Codeine). Sublime music for fans of Chris's previous bands and compatriots like Calexico, Pinetop Seven, and Giant Sand. If "Red Cities" was a soundtrack without a film, one of the most versatile, expressive, and thoughtful talents in the pool now has moving pictures to move hand in hand with his music.
