Macro [CD]

Since their debut as Brijean, the project of drummer/singer-songwriter Brijean Murphy (the percussive heartbeat for live bands like Mitski, Poolside and Toro y Moi) and multi-instrumentalist/producer Doug Stuart has moved with ingenuity, fusing psych-pop abstraction with dancefloor sensibilities.

Through body and mind, rhythm and lyricism, they make sense of the worlds around them and within them. The 2021 album "Feelings" celebrated self-reflection, the 2022 EP "Angelo" dealt with personal loss and coincided with the duo's first headlining tour. 'Macro', released on Ghostly International in July 2024, is Brijean's most cohesive, dynamic, collaborative and song-oriented work. The band brought various guest musicians into their living room in LA, including Chris Cohen and Khruangbins "DJ" Johnson Jr. Colorful, collaborative, sophisticated and fun, the album enlivens a macrocosm of characters, moods and viewpoints rooted in the notion that no feeling is final and the only way out is through.
