From psyched-out Krautrock to free-jazz wig outs to funk-flavoured downtempo jams, Brown Spirits endeavor to smash every show as if it was their last. Hailing from Melbourne (AUS) the band maintains a strict DIY recording ethic and comes with a handful of global releases, the 2 most recent albums being on UK's acclaimed Soul Jazz Records thus landing Brown Spirits as the first ever act from Australia to sign with the label. With strong support from national radio and accolades from abroad including Mojo UK, Uncut Magazine, KEXP and BBC Radio, such recognition has seen the band sharing stages with some their favourite offshore influences such as Kikagaku Moyo (Japan), Frankie and the Witchfingers (usa), Minami Deutsch (Japan) and Yawning Man (usa).
Following on from their 2023 album 'Solitary Transmissions' plus a string of sold out 45s on Soul Jazz Records and successful live shows in Melbourne, Brown Spirits have returned with their new full length release titled 'Cosmic Seeds' recorded and mixed by the band. The album sees the band continue their DIY tradition of 1960s-1970s inspired thunderous psychedelic jams and excursions into krautrock. Whilst reflecting strong democratic musicality, the trio branch even further out from their trademark motorik leanings, and venture deeper into funk and jazz flavored territories with moog-driven melodies and beyond.
