Balmy, sundrenched mood music like you'd find on a vintage 1970s vinyl LP is alive and well on Brijean's third full-length album, 2024's Macro. Showcasing the talents of singer/percussionist Brijean Murphy and bassist/instrumentalist/producer Doug Stuart, the album follows 2021's Feelings and once again finds them diving deep into a pastel-colored pool of loungey grooves and melodies that sway like a beach umbrella. The duo recorded the album at their home in Altadena, a relaxed mountain suburb of Los Angeles that seems to fit the chill, mid-century vibe they conjure on Macro. While Brijean's music is rooted in bossa nova, AM pop, and funk influences, Macro is one of their most stylistically well-rounded productions. Cuts like "Euphoric Avenue" and "Counting Sheep" have a shimmering, timeless quality, evoking the work of indie icons like Stereolab and Pizzicato Five as much as classic exotica lounge acts like Esquivel.
