The Brook & The Bluff
Official Site
The Brook & The Bluff is perfectly poised between the past and the present, at an unexpected
crossroads where indie rock and folk-rock have found new frontiers and possibilities online.
Their new album Bluebeard feels like a modern classic, shaped by the past but very much of
and for right now. The first song from the album titled “Long Limbs” is a song about the highs
and lows of being in love and the work that goes into a relationship but also a reminder to just
be present and let yourself be with someone that makes you happy.
In recent years, The Brook & The Bluff’s incandescent harmonies, winning arrangements, and
observational acumen have unexpectedly put them upon a different on-ramp for success:
streaming stardom. They are now, by far, one of the most successful young bands at folk-rock’s
amorphous contemporary edge, fusing the craft of the past with the ideas and avenues of the
present.
