Brown Recluse

Philadelphia septet Brown Recluse play Sunday night (9/27) at Cake Shop, hot on the heels of their new EP The Soft Skin which was just released on Slumberland. It’s sunny orch-pop in the same vein as ’60s band The Zombies, The Sneetches, and The Ladybug Transistor. Check out the two songs at the top of this post — good stuff.

The EP was actually recorded two years ago, back when the band were known as Brown Recluse Sings, but is only just now surfacing. If you like it, be sure to also check out their 2006 mini-LP, Black Sunday. A brand-new LP will be out on Slumberland in early 2010. If you can’t make the Cake Shop show on Sunday, Brown Recluse will be back in NYC in November. All tour dates are below.
