My Brother The Wind - Discography

The foursome were not too familiar with each other when their debut effort was recorded at a concert held in May 2009. The venue for the occasion was Drop Out in the Swedish city of Åmål, the latter a small place that made it's name in the history books following the Swedish motion picture Fucking Åmål, a movie about teenagers living in a place where nothing ever happens.

In the spirit of improvisation the album as such was actually finished the day after the concert. The idea is to record albums out of the blue, totally improvised and with no previous rehearsals. Twilight In The Crystal Cabinet was recorded in two hours in 2009 and mixed in real time the day after and has awaited release ever since. In the summer of 2010 Swedish label Transubstans Records finalized this adventure by releasing the album.

I Wash My Soul in the Stream of Infinity , recorded in only 4 hours during a cold Swedish winter’s night in 2011.

With the focus less on guitar solos and more on group virtuosity, the instrumentation is altered to create interesting and intricately layered rock soundscapes, seemingly influenced by King Crimson, Amon Düül II and Sweden’s seminal prog-pioneers, Träd, Gräs och Stenar. This particular influences serve in distinguishing My Brother The Wind‘s instrumental odysseys from the current crop of European jam-bands.

My Brother The Wind takes the best elements of improvised kraut and prog-rock, and once the spaceship has escaped the pull of Earth’s gravity, they drift into magnificent droning space rock and psychedelic orbits.
