Bright Brown is sonic cinema. These songs are soundtracks to the victories and defeats of the everyday, evoking personal poetry projected on the world view. Vocalist Alex Nahas also plays the Chapman Stick, a seldom seen ten-stringed electric instrument covering a sonic range from deep, earthy bass to shimmering highs, laid gingerly upon the visceral grooves, warm brush strokes, and metallic bursts of Nick Smeraski's drumming.
Their new release, “No Matter How Faint There’s Light In Everythingâ€, was entirely recorded, mixed, and produced in Brooklyn by Alex and Nick at Head Gear Studios and Bright Brown Sound, which led to it’s cohesively organic and intuitive feel.
Alex Nahas is best known for founding the critically acclaimed post rock band, Laughingstock. http://www.laughingstocksf.com Other achievements include touring and recording with John Vanderslice, and producing / engineering the first Mates of State EP, and the latest record from Jill Tracy.

“Their new CD, No Matter How Faint There's Light In Everything, comes at you with
dark heart and plea. ...Nahas' voice is heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time, the
music layering over and under like sweet and sorrow. ...sadness is placed in glimmers
of light, melodies in a comforting bed of sound. ...Just close your eyes and listen to this
one, preferably on headphones, so you can lose yourself in the world of the songs and
learn something about where inner and outer landscapes meet.â€
