Bran Van 3000 is one of my favorite non-heard-of, not released in the United States artists today. Their first album, Glee (1998), did see release here in the states and the single Drinking In L.A. received moderate airplay on college radio stations. What has remained consistent with all of the releases by BV3 is their eclectic mix of musical styles woven into a complete sonic experience.
I first discovered BV3 on a listening station at the now defunct Tower Records. When a friend of mine and I decided to take an impromptu 7 hour drive, I picked up the disc for the trip. It proved to be the perfect soundtrack for the road ahead. Our musical tastes differ by quite a bit, but we both managed to find something memorable on the first album. Later on, he purchased the disc too.
So here I am, almost 10 years later still expounding about the beauty of BV3. Their latest album, Rose was released in their native Canada late in 2007. Considering that most releases are now placed immediately on I-Tunes, I was shocked to see its exclusion. So here I present to you the third album by Bran Van 3000, Rose. Stand out tracks include Call Me (I'll Be Around Medley), Sea Of Life and Tony Roman. I'm sure you'll find something equally satisfying of this set.
