Music Review
Band: Brown Shoe
Title: Vanity

Indie / Ambient / Experimental

‘Vanity’ is Brown Shoe’s 2nd full-length release.

Brown Shoe’s sound is complex but pretty laid back, soothing and multi-layered... and we find it so refreshing! Beautiful sounds flow continually on ‘Vanity’ - but with occasional and unconventional melodies strategically placed within them. The result is quite lovely and it will securely, but gently, lock you in place while you listen to the CD all the way through, whether you intended to at the moment or not. You’d have it no other way though.

Many bands came to mind, but only in fleeting moments, while we listened to this 13-song release. However, the conclusion is that Brown Shoe is uniquely fresh because there is much more of them on the CD than bands they admire.

Highlights are:

‘The Ship’, ‘Watershed’, ‘Polliwog’, ‘Heavy Handed’, ‘Pop Song’, and ‘CBC’.
