Low-fi lullabies from Brother Sun, Sister Moon

Brother Sun, Sister Moon is a hazy, droney, dreamy collaboration between New Zealand vocalist Alicia Merz (Birds of Passage) and instrumentalist/beat maestro Gareth Munday (Roof Light). Lovely low-fi, cross-genre lullabies. It's $6 for the digital album or around $12 for a cassette that also includes a digital download. Vinyl also available from Denovali Mailorder. From the project description:

The self-titled album is a trip through sun-dappled pop music, glistening with Alicia’s vibrant vocals reminiscent of Vashti Bunyan and neatly complimented by a haze of lo-fi instrumentation akin to the distorted experimentation of SLOWDIVE and MY BLOODY VALENTINE. Unafraid to extend their musical reach beyond this, the record ventures into the futuristic beat world channeling influences such as FLYING LOTUS and MADLIB, while traversing vast technicolour electronic sounds that call to mind BOARDS OF CANADA and the ambient tape manipulation of Matthew David.

  Weird, I thought Brother Sun Sister Moon was Paul Robb and Barb Cohen.

    Or an Italian film from 1972?

      It’s more relevant that there was already a completely different band named Brother Sun Sister Moon than a film of the same name. I got excited for a moment that this was that band releasing something new, but then I read the names and had a sad.
