Comment
: Brian Square is an artist closely related to the Cologne-based vagabond Richard There and his Sleeping Horse Records. As you have figured out at yourself now, indeed, it supposes something unusual, something which is very away from the cores and centres of mainstream pop music. More profoundly, there can be detected for a countless amount of sonic experiments, which are "embellished" with skewed spoken word experiments, different occult voice manners, creepy song structures and tenuous electronic minutiae (around the folk-based song There Is No Sin For All This). By the way, Brian Square conveys to us a version of the US-anthem Star-Spangled Banner which is the only notch which throws out a sense of easiness and more light.
