AND THE ALLURE OF THE BOSTON MUSiC SCENE

Boston music veteran ASA BREBNER doesn’t give a damn about setting the world on fire. All he’s concerned with is getting the music out there. SUENOS DE LOS MUERTOS is BREBNER’s first album in four years and to say that this eleven song catalog of love and loss is “eagerly anticipated” would be a bit of an understatement. More than a mere release SUENOS DE LOS MUERTOS signals the rock n roll troubadour’s return to music after spending the past few years taking care of his ailing parents. Judging by the title, one would think that BREBNER’s latest offering was all doom and gloom from man who once toured and recorded with the likes of JONATHAN RICHMAN AND THE MODERN LOVERS and ROBIN LANE AND THE CHARTBUSTERS. SUENOS DE LOS MUERTOS is in fact an unflinching and unsentimental examination of life, love and everything set to a sparse yet punchy rock backing provided largely by BREBNER and drummer KEVIN SHURTLEFF. With his distinctive howl, BREBNER surveys the tattered landscape of a life that is rock n roll on the tracks I’M NOT GONE and NAME DAMAGE. A nice Latin feel is conjured up on the song COME TO ME but things are truly electrifying on TRIED AND TRUE – a stunning duet between BREBNER and Boston vocalist ANDREA GILLIS. (READ MORE)
