James Brute is the former front man of The Brute Chorus. Now solo he is continuing to explore the musical themes mapped out by his band’s eclectic mix of folk and blues. His songs are still littered with characters from the Old Testament and Greek mythology but now the wild sound and fury is pared back to it’s most basic and intimate. Songs of love, lust and loss are delivered alongside an old fuzzy electric guitar or sometimes sung acapella. Spooked out, strung out and sometimes just slung out James is taking his songwriting and performance into new and darker waters.
