My Kid Brother - Happy.Mad.Weird.Sad (CD)

2022 release. After much enthusiasm that helped foster the band's self-titled 2020 EP, My Kid Brother are branching out themselves. Happy. Mad. Weird. Sad, recorded with producer Eric Palmquist (Thrice, Bad Suns, Mutemath), builds on their EP's polished, hooky rock with heavier riffs (""Roots""), thicker grooves (""High Society""), colorful and quirky arrangements, lyrics that span stalker tales to unfiltered love songs, and choruses that punch with a newfound intensity (""Shoulders"").
