about

I spent most late-evenings of 2003, sitting on the end of my bed, writing and recording songs for what would eventually become an album. Listening back, I can hear the growing-pains of a young songwriter. Some of the songs are tough for me to listen to, like looking at your own awkward baby photos. Some of the songs still move me -the Rock vibes of “Union” and “Maybe It Was Her”, the raw musicianship of “Copper Kettle”. I still think “My Girl Napoleon” is a fantastic lyric. The production is close, noisy, and rough. Still, there’s something genuine here, a little bit of something good. Twenty years later, it feels appropriate to put “Octobermusic” back out into the world, imperfections and all.

about

Brandon Costello Lexington, Kentucky

Nü Folk, Sensitive Rock & Roll... Whatever you call it, the music of Kentucky Singer/Songwriter Brandon Costello is for driving into the Kentucky night, with the windows down. It is music for aching, for wanting, for standing too close, for staying up too late, for drinking bourbon by the fire. Like the Commonwealth from which he hails, Costello's sound is welcoming -a bit like coming home. ... more
