For those unaware, Brandon Seabrook is a NYC-based guitarist and banjoist. His music fuses a wide range of traditions: punk rock, jazz, pop, and metal.

As a guitarist his work feeds off tactile sensations; rapid tremolo picking, contorted clusters, and extreme physicality. He has released nine albums of original material and has performed throughout the U.S., Europe, and South America.

On his second solo album, Object of Unknown Function (out October 18th, 2024 via Pyroclastic Records), Brandon Seabrook layers vintage banjos, electric and 12-string guitars, and cassette recordings into an uncategorizable hybrid.

1. Object of Unknown Function
2. Melodic Incidents for an Irrational World
3. Unbalanced Love Portfolio
4. Perverted by Perseverance
5. Historical Importance of Eccentricity
6. Phenomenal Doggerel
7. Gondola Freak
8. Gawk Fodder
9. Some Recanted Evening
10. The Snow Falling, Falling

This highly authentic, organically sculpted new recording opens on the tantalizingly atmospheric title track Object of Unknown Function and the shimmeringly jangly, yet crystalline Melodic Incidents for an Irrational World, and then we are brought forth the smoothly jarred rhythms within Unbalanced Love Portfolio, the fervently assembled Perverted by Perseverance, before the veritably glistening Historical Importance of Eccentricity is unveiled.

Along next is a breathtakingly skittish freneticism that drives Phenomenal Doggerel which is in turn followed seamlessly by the melodic escapism proffered up within Gondola Freak, the atmospheric Gawk Fodder, the album rounding out on the preciseness shown ably free flowing within Some Recanted Evening, closing on the emotionally charged The Snow Falling, Falling.
