Their shadowy, kaleidoscopic music vacillates between brooding textural pieces and exuberant rock-and-roll at the drop of a hat, chasing the ghosts of pop music past into a hall of cracked mirrors. Their debut for Hidden Shoal, <em>Positive Haywires,</em> lands on 16th Sept 2014.</p><p><a title="Facebook" href="https://www.facebook.com/ohbrotherearth" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone wp-image-8763 size-full" src="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Facebook.png" alt="Facebook" width="26" height="20" /></a> <a href="http://soundcloud.com/brotherearthmusic"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8764" src="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/SoundCloud.png" alt="SoundCloud" width="26" height="20" /></a>  <a title="Website" href="http://tobias-music.com/id29.html" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone wp-image-8767 size-full" src="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Website.png" alt="Website" width="26" height="20" /></a></p>[/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider admin_label="Divider" color="#ffffff" show_divider="off" /][et_pb_tabs admin_label="Artist Tabs"][et_pb_tab title="Discography"]<h3>Discography</h3><div> </div><div><em>Positive Haywires</em> out 16th September 2014</div>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title="Bio"]<h3>Biography</h3><p>Brother Earth is a collaboration between multi-instrumentalist/producer Todd Tobias and vocalist Steve Five.
