Cary Brothers On Room Thirteen

Room Thirteen review the four track album sampler for Cary's debut album "Who You Are"

"I was a little bewildered when first coming across Cary Brothers. For obvious reasons you may be dubbed into thinking this is a couple of family members playing music; much like Noel and Liam Gallagher, Jared and Shannon Leto or Gerard and Mikey Way, when actually this is one guy with an unfortunate confusing last name.

Cary Brothers is a singer songwriter and musician from Nashville, Tennessee who creates guitar friendly songs that drift though you like a warm breeze. Trained in both piano and guitar, settling on the latter, the songs this lad creates are influenced by a number of things from 1980s British New Wave to 1970s folk music.

Some of the songs you listen to by Brothers may sound awfully familiar. This is in due part to the method he has taken to promote his creations. Where most musicians look into radio airplay to promote their music, Brothers took a more visual approach and attacked television programmes, pushing to get his songs appear on Scrubs, Bones, Smallville, One Tree Hill, Grey's Anatomy and ER, and Zach Braff films such as the Last Kiss where the original version of ‘Ride’ was featured, and Garden State where ‘Blue Eyes’ was selected to feature.

The four snippets of musical magnitude on this sampler are beautiful expressions of love and relationships. The musical creations are at times semi acoustic while still grasping onto a hook and pulling you in with it. The melodies have a way of beginning as a patter before growing to well developed and creatively crafted musical memories. Whether you are looking for the loud indie rock ‘Who You Are’, the folksy guitars of ‘Ride’, the simplistic ‘Blue Eyes’ or the gracious ‘If You Were Here’, four tracks of pure, perfect and peaceful paradise music."
