Daniel Brandt, better known as one third of Brandt Brauer Frick, is gearing up to release his debut solo album. Entitled Eternal Something, the 8-track instrumental record arrives on March 24th via Erased Tapes. Usually the man behind the drum kit, on Eternal Something Brandt played most of the instruments on the record, some of which learnt for the first time while recording. Brandt explains how the album came to life:

“The initial idea was to make a cymbal album. I wanted to surround myself with all types of cymbals. I locked myself into my father’s cabin in the woods for three days. That was the moment I realized it was not possible for me to make an album just with cymbals because other ideas and instruments imposed themselves on me. I had a clear sense of what I wanted to do now. The intention was to let the songs evolve by themselves and not edit too much, keep it raw and have an explosion-like energy to them. I wanted to create a different sound, songs that build up like dance tunes but don’t feel like club music at all. Traveling around in California for two months gave me the possibility to deeply get into this concept outside my normal environment. Robert Raths, who served as a great motivator throughout the whole process (I guess he had listened to the record more than I ever had) came up with the perfect order for the songs. This record is about failing to make the original plan happen, but then the discovery of something I couldn’t even think of before.”

It may seem like a long wait till March but we can already get a taste of what’s to come with the first single ‘Kale Me’.
