Washington DC-based indie punks BRNDA are back with their new album Total Pain. The album’s got some nice press, including Bandcamp’s Essential Releases, a profile in Washington City Paper, and a thorough review on WRGW’s blog. As with their debut Do You Like Salt, the group recorded with Justin Moyer at White Oak Studio in DC, and I mixed & mastered the album at Studio Windows in Brooklyn. The new record stretches way further out, however, with wild clarinet & flute parts, shades of electronics, and a wider range of song styles. If you liked the first one, you’ll love this one. If you didn’t hear the first one, but are looking for some catchy weirdness, check it out! Total Pain is out now on Crafted Sounds.

DC-area art-punk quartet BRNDA are back with “Peach Pit”, the first song and lead single from their sophomore album Total Pain. Bandcamp listed it in their “New and Notable” releases (“The DC band bring a more somber outlook to their latest LP, but their synth-tinged art punk remains upbeat and catchy”) and Austin Town Hall gave the track a great review. As with their first album Do You Like Salt?, Total Pain was recorded by Justin Moyer at White Oak Studios (DC), and I mixed & mastered the album at Studio Windows (NYC). I was excited to be able to work with the group again, and I love how they’ve expanded and experimented with their sound on this one – it’s a fun one! Total Pain is out on LP, CD, cassette & digital on September 12 via Crafted Sounds.

DC-based off-kilter punk trio BRNDA just released “Perfect World”, the first single from their upcoming album Do You Like Salt? FLOOD Magazine premiered the track, calling it “a throbbing, slice of motorik post-punk that… manages to marry quirk and danceability.” The album was recorded at White Oak Studios in Washington, DC by Justin Moyer, and I mixed & mastered it last year at Studio Windows. Check out the song below, and you can pre-order the LP on their Bandcamp. Do You Like Salt? is out August 20 via Crafted Sounds.
