Phosphorescent Blues

VINYL FORMAT. Brazos' Martin Crane wrote the songs on Phosphorescent Blues during a two-week span of peaceful euphoria. Writing on classic themes - transient love, friendship, communities - Crane evokes the loss of youthful illusion and the calm, uneasy accomplishment of that loss. Like the adapted Adrienne Rich poem The Observer, the album tries to break free from the constraints of the city it's grown into, escaping by turning inward. Brazos has had a solid two years worth of buzz in Austin since their first EP, opening for Grizzly Bear, Wye Oak, Bowerbirds, and more. Now, Brazos make good on their proven promise with a confident and truly unique first album.
