Bruce Robert - Together Singles (2018)

Bruce Robert has been self-releasing digital singles from his Boise, Idaho home over the last couple years, and as the title of this disc may suggest, this is a collection of the best of those songs. Though a multi-instrumentalist, who created the majority of the music on this album, Bruce is helped out by a number of friends, including Jeremy Jensen of the Very Most (on a variety of instruments) and Raine Saunders-Irving, Gia Trotter and Sean Samuel Kelly (all taking turns on vocals). Touchstones for these songs include the Essex Green, Pale Lights and the Yearning - all equally wonderful jangly indiepop bands who also sometimes enjoy playing in a minor key.
