I was the lucky recipient of an introduction to ex-Auckland three-piece Hughes Brothers today - a result of Streets of Laredo (see link below) posting this video on their Facebook timeline. One play of "So Many Places" and it was today's NZMusic4U post. Difficult not to like, the arrangements, structure, instrumentation, harmonies and production all work for me. A subdued northern hemisphere light (one of the only good things about a northern winter) also makes for a good basic pallette for the video, which is simple and well done. It was shot, edited and completed in a single day by Ryan Alexander Lloyd. (see website link below). Hughes Brothers are now based in Berlin and from what I can tell, not many know who they are - yet. That will change very quickly putting out material as good as this. The indie/electro/pop band is made up of Benjamin and Simon Hughes (former members of bands Falter & Alex The Kid) and Rene Corbett, a friend who contributed to production of this single, and who now has joined them on drums/percussion. You can buy this song and their "Take Me On" EP (released May 2012) at the link below.
