Cary Brothers - Who You Are Review

Thanks Again Cary Brothers

I'm pretty sure I speak for a lot of music lovers when I say that, unfortunately, it was Zach Braff who introduced me to Cary Brothers. "Blue Eyes", Garden State, you know the drill. The good thing is that Cary Brothers also seems to realize that this might have been the case; not only is Who You Are reminiscent of "Blue Eyes" (and other Garden State tracks), but he smartly nestled the song behind a few black tracks on this new disk. There's a "hidden track", as we say, and its inclusion only benefits an already astounding album.

"Jealousy", the slightly repetitive, especially catchy opening track leads right into the whimsical opening chords of "Ride" (another Braff choice, heard in Last Kiss), a flow enhanced with Brothers' sweet and glossy Chris Martin-like vocals. Another high point centers in "Loneliest Girl in the World", composed of an orchestral melancholy which serves the name well.

Who You Are carries Brothers' voice, varying between an achy surrender and a smooth melodic curve, but his vocals aren't so much showcased as they are appropriately mixed with the disc's excellent instrumental value. Give it some play time and pretty soon you'll be singing "it's my jealousy/ creepin' up on me" over and over� and over again.
