Brooms dabble in and out of musical worlds that flirt with sonic invention while exploring domestic dramas like cleaning a girlfriend’s shower and dealing with messy cats. Indeed, this is the stuff of life, and as singer-songwriters like Randy Newman have done before, the duo of Matt Cascella and Brett Crudgington are sweeping it all into their inviting and lush soundscapes.
The video (streaming below) for first single ‘Barracuda Belly’ (directed by Brett Haley) features young lovers awkwardly exploring the mess of new relationships against Coney Island’s backdrop. Taken from debut record ‘In the Backyard,’ it’s filled with embarrassing reminders of how difficult it is to manage butterflies (or in this case barraacudas) while hanging out with a new lady and attempting to eat ice cream at the same time. See the video below, and check out the band when they play at Sycamore Bar on Dec 15th. Check out also the other single "Balding," below. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
