Brijean

Brijean – “Macro” (Ghostly International, GI‑438). The Oakland duo’s lush percussion‑pop blooms into widescreen: Brijean Murphy’s congas and soft‑focus vocals braid with Doug Stuart’s synth‑bass and Rhodes to craft a humid micro‑climate of tropicalia‑tinted indie, sophisti‑pop and left‑field house. It’s intimate yet expansive—hand‑played grooves, pastel harmonies and hooks that creep up like a warm tide. Pressed beautifully, “Macro” is an LP you can DJ with at dusk or live inside on headphones.
