Review: Recently, Fokuz Recordings have been issuing the odd album of re-mastered and re-visited tunes from the past. The latest come from Brother, with a full-length LP of tracks from 2008-2012 for you to bend your ears round. All these tunes have that old-school vibe to the percussion, which sits low-down in the frequency range and sounds tough, rusty and full of character. Unlike the crispness of 2019, the goal even just five to ten years ago was to create a sound-scape of charisma, not pure clarity, and Brother clearly knew what was up back then. Each of these is delicate and thoughtfully put together - one for the true Fokuz fans.
