Brant Bjork & the Bros.’ Somera Sól to Be Reissued
Has it been a full 24 hours since the last bit of news around here about Heavy Psych Sounds went up? Maybe not every record that’s being re-pressed, even with new artwork, is worth posting about — if it were, I wouldn’t have time to post about anything else — but I dig Brant Bjork & the Bros.‘ Somera Sól (discussed here) a lot, so I’m just happy to have the excuse to put it on and vibe out for a bit.
Originally released in 2007, it was the final offering for Brant Bjork & the Bros. — see also 2005’s Saved by Magic — and it shared “Love is Revolution” with the acoustic-based Tres Dias (reissue review here), which sort of marks out that era of his work for me. The aughts, man. Simpler times. Remember when all we had to worry about was being at war for the rest of our lives? Alas.
Before I get too far off track, here’s info from the PR wire. Preorders are up, but even if they weren’t, you know how to get to Heavy Psych Sounds‘ store by now. If not, it’s super-easy:
HEAVY PSYCH SOUNDS Records is really proud to presale the repress of the mighty album “SOMERA SOL” of the Lord of Coolness Brant Bjork
The release will see the light May 6th on Heavy Psych Sounds !!!
