The Brazda Brothers The Brazda Brothers (Dominion) ??, ON Originally Released: 1973 |
From the Russian imports of Aaron Levin:
These two Russian hippie-bros emigrate to Ontario and release an album celebrating the pastoral scenery of their new home. With thick, stilted Ruskie accents and strange instruments (Cordovox?) they weaved twelve streams of folk-rock textures in dedication to our unique landscape. Their foreign perspective is the album’s greatest strength; take their journey and visualize the vast industrial heartland through outside, lysergic eyes. The resulting innocence, both serene and moving, place the Brazda Brothers alongside other nationalized fringe-folk canon whose trails into uncharted territory shaped our anomalous soundscape (Riverson, Ptarmigan, PCC, etc). The band claims that 5,000 copies were pressed but the number of known copies states otherwise. Released on a budget label concerned mostly with fiddle and children LPs. I flipped my lid when I found a sealed copy of this!

Thanks for this – it’s pretty radical!
how cool is this ?!
thanks !
this is fucking fantastic– thanks, aaron!
this has recently been reissued and can be found quite easily at most good record stores.
they recently sampled Brazda Brothers for a song from Animal Collective/ Panda Bear.
also that 49 cent record is worth around a $1000.00.
I hope the Brothers got paid from that sample! Pretty cool. I was very well aware of the going rate when I found it
