The Bears Of Blue River, Time Since Western, and The Giving Tree Band at The Frequency
Andy Brawner, who divides his life between Madison and Milwaukee, describes Time Since Western as a solo project that aims to sound like a band. He recorded most of TSW's 2008 album, A Sun Goes Down, by himself, displaying songwriting and arrangement strengths that bring out plainspoken emotion and a conflicted, heat-mirage finish. While it's hard to equal Mark Kozelek (Red House Painters, Sun Kil Moon), Brawner really seems to grasp his main influence's ability to create a bold track with a few subtle elements. TSW was once an actual band live, but now it's Brawner playing solo and using such tools as a loop pedal to keep the expansive vibe intact as he tries out a new batch of songs.
