PierceBrothers<\/em>\u00a0have just dropped their new single\u00a0Brother,<\/em>\u00a0a crescendo-building indie folk anthem, out today, February 12.\u00a0\u00a0The final track to be released before they drop their new album,\u00a0Brother<\/em>\u00a0focuses on being away from family, a theme especially prescient now when so many family and friends are being kept apart as we head into the second year of COVID-19\u00a0[Listen: BROTHER]<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0Brother\u00a0<\/em>is accompanied by a light-hearted performance-based music video which sees the band constantly interrupted by their brother. \u00a0Brilliantly spliced with sweet, nostalgic footage from their childhood, the clip is the perfect trimming to such a personal song.\u00a0[Watch: BROTHER]<\/a>. The single is the last to be released from the\u00a0Pierce Brothers\u2019<\/em>\u00a0highly anticipated sophomore album,\u00a0Into The Great Unknown<\/em>\u00a0which debuts on March 5, 2021. They have also today announced the first leg of their national regional tour, kicking off with their Victorian show dates through March, April and May, featuring shows at The Espy on April 24 and The Corner Hotel on April 30, their first headline shows in Melbourne in over twelve months.

Written and performed for years before they finally put it down in the studio,\u00a0Brother<\/em>\u00a0displays the anthemic build and crescendo for which Pierce Brothers have become known during their live performances. Opening with a quiet, reverb heavy and overdriven acoustic guitar, the track soon delves through rich harmonies, as drums and percussion are slowly introduced throughout the hook-laden chorus. The tune then kicks it into the next gear with the drop of the electric guitar solo before jumping up the octave and galloping to the final verse and chorus. Produced by\u00a0Jan Skubiszewski\u00a0<\/em>(John Butler, The Cat Empire), mixed by\u00a0Phil Threlfall\u00a0<\/em>(Illy, Ed Sheeran), and mastered by\u00a0Joe Carra<\/em>\u00a0at\u00a0Crystal Mastering<\/em>\u00a0(The Teskey Brothers, The Cat Empire),\u00a0Brother\u00a0<\/em>is a slow burn anthem that leads to the kind of massive payoff that the Pierce Brothers have dedicated their careers to performing, and will have fans of\u00a0Lumineers\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Mumford and Sons\u00a0<\/em>jumping and singing by the final chorus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filmed by\u00a0Dara Munnis<\/em>\u00a0(Tash Sultana, Teskey Brothers) and directed by Patrick Pierce himself, the music video for\u00a0Brother<\/em>\u00a0sees a delightfully playful take on sibling rivalry, cut up with old home footage of the brothers as children, in a song that seeks to emphasise the importance of family.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cWe wanted to juxtapose the earnestness of the song with a bit of a piss-take,<\/em>\u201c explains Pat,\u00a0\u201cWe went in there with the intention of playing the whole thing straight, but then when Justin (our older brother) said he could drop in, we thought it would just be way funnier if we tried to do an honest-to-God straight performance, and he just walks through and messes it up for us. We couldn\u2019t stop laughing at the thought of it so we figured, why not?”\u00a0<\/em>

Brother is the fourth track to be released from Pierce Brothers much anticipated sophomore album\u00a0Into The Great Unknown<\/em>, set for release March 5.\u00a0Recorded\u00a0at\u00a0Jan Skubiszewski\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0Red Moon Studios in Gisborne between the two Victorian lockdowns in 2020, the new album explores previously uncharted territory for the twins.\u00a0\u201cWith strings arrangements, female backing vocals, and larger performances than we\u2019ve ever done in the studio, this album is striving to be something grander than what has come before,\u201d says Jack, \u201cThe lack of endless touring paved the way for a deeply thought-out experience.\u201d<\/em>

Along with their new single, the brothers have released a run of Victorian regional dates to coincide with the release of the new album. With borders opening, expect new shows to be added to the already stacked Victorian tour run. \u201cIn 2021 we\u2019re planning on an entire regional Australia run!\u201d Pat tells us, \u201cbut the problem is that if we announce tickets too far in advance, there\u2019s risk of border closures between the announce and the date of the gig. We want to avoid all postponing\/cancellations of shows so this year it\u2019s announce and GO!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
