Having spent 3 and a half years in The Murder Of Rosa Luxemburg and Scarecrows, two bands many considered the best proggy/math/post-rock/screamo (delete as you see appropriate) outfits in the UK, you can understand why awkward time signatures and twisted spazzy rhythms could easily start to get on top of Andrew Jackson, face, name and brains behind the beautiful House Of Brothers, a musical project about as far removed from his previous acts as you could ever imagine possible.

Comparisons to the likes of Elliott Smith, Tom Waits, Nick Drake and Owen are to be expected, but House Of Brothers is too good to dismiss so lazily. As Andrew put it himself "This is a songwriting project. It's about constructing precise and thought provoking music that draws it's influences from the city, relationships, people in bars, philosophy or anything else that makes for a good story"

His first London show came at the start of the year supporting the much-hyped Sub-Pop signed Swede, Loney, Dear, at the invitation of Drowned In Sound, Europe's most read online music magazine. Since then Andrew has been adored by many up and down his native England as he plays live, sometimes solo, sometimes not-so, whilst spending careful and considered time inbetween writing new material. Bringing a refreshing willingness and exciting sound to a wholly over-crowded, yet disappointingly less than exciting genre, House Of Brothers should be the first name on every mix CD this summer.

House Of Brothers debut EP, 'Deadman', will be out via Big Scary Monsters in November 2007

NME
Superb bootsale-pop like Elliot Smith rubbed down with lavender

Drowned In Sound
Sparkling indie-folk in style, these three songs are as magical as anything the much-acclaimed Fionn Regan has recently released to the world. It is serene, stunningly so, and quite wonderfully arresting

High Voltage
Reminiscent of the likes of Elliot Smith, non-digital Bright Eyes and Ryan Adams at his most heartbreaking; the strings, piano, acoustic guitar and husky harmonies are all gentle and serene, but entirely engrossing.
