Balu Brigada

It all happened quickly for the band formed around the New Zealand brothers Henry and Pierre Beasley. The young multi-instrumentalists signed a record deal after a few strong singles, conveniently moved to New York, and toured with acts including Twenty One Pilots. Amid all that hectic activity, they also recorded their debut album ‘Portal’: on this self-produced collection of synth-pop gems, their talent and joy shine through, as in the disarming ‘4:25’. With subtle echoes of Tame Impala, Cake, and MGMT, the irresistible sound of Balu Brigada is a top recommendation for indie lovers.
