Brijean announce forthcoming, Macro

The track initially started as a living room jam with percussionist Bertie Paradise, then “Doug pulled a loop of Brijean on bongos, Bertie on Congas, and a drum machine. He played the two-layered basslines over this loop and the rest felt like it happened in a dream,” explains Murphy, who improvised her sleep-deprived lines, riffing on self-improvement and modern times, half-serious at first but something clicked in those small hours.

Later she asked fans to send voice memos in exchange for art, and some of those got peppered into the soundbed. “That was a treat… Just getting to go through and hear all of these voices from around the world, an intimate and charming experience.”

Since their debut in 2019, Brijean has moved with ingenuity, fusing psych-pop abstraction with dancefloor sensibilities. Through the body and mind, rhythm and lyricism, they make sense of the worlds around and within; 2021's Feelings celebrated self-reflection; 2022's Angelo processed loss, coinciding with the duo's first headlining tour, which doubled down on the material's desire to move. Now, across the playful expanse of Macro, Brijean engages different sides of themselves, the paradox of being alive.
