With the release of double a-side 7” single ‘I Am Certain’/’I Do Not Believe’ set for November 19th (Too Pure Singles Club), Cardiff based chamber pop sextet AMONG BROTHERS have confirmed UK tour plans.

The tour kicks off in London with a release show for the single at Electricity Showrooms, with support coming from Honey and special guests, and takes in the following dates:
  • 10th Nov Bristol Fear Of Fiction Fest
  • 29th Nov London Electricity Showrooms
  • 30th Nov Manchester The Trof, Fallowfield
  • 1st Dec Nottingham The Chameleon
  • 2nd Dec Bristol The Croft
  • 15th Dec London Assembly Hall, Islington (supporting Los Campesinos!)
Drawing influence from the likes of Grizzly Bear, Efterklang and Sufjan Stevens, AMONG BROTHERS mix evocative beats, percussive flourishes and gang harmonies to create a vibrant pop style anchored by evocative themes.

The titles to both songs on their Too Pure-sponsored release were drawn from the novel ‘We’ by Zamyatin. With this in mind, the band have embarked upon a ‘concept single’ with a narrative theme running through the lyrics of both songs. Following the story of a boy falling in love with a cult member, the lyrics reveal his descent into her world in order to get closer to her.

‘I Am Certain’ can be heard here:

AMONG BROTHERS unleashed their debut EP Homes back in 2011 through their own label Barely Regal Records and since then have gone from strength to strength. Garnering support from the vibrant Welsh music scene and the love of BBC Introducing, they followed their debut with the ‘Keep’ single released by Kissability (Transgressive/BBC Introducing’s Jen Long) and Young & Lost Club.

2012 has been a busy year with the band playing The Great Escape, Camden Crawl, SWN Festival and an upcoming support slot with Los Campesinos! The Independent labelled them “Ones To Watch” and Fake DIY touted AMONG BROTHERSAmbitious and Vibrant, Glorious and Beautiful”.

I Am Certain’ & ‘I Do Not Believe’ saw AMONG BROTHERS back in the studio with producer Charlie Francis who worked on the bands debut EP. This time they have expanded their token use of orchestral sounds with the addition of live brass to their recordings for the first time. The results of which are quite frankly breath taking.

I Am Certain’ b/w ‘I Do Not Believe’ is released on the 19th November 2012 through Too Pure Singles Club.
