Singer-songwriter Daniel Rice and bandmate Hayden Doyel originally formed Brim as a rootsy side project to their main gig in psychedelic hard-rock band Slow Season, now known as Westing.
Written and recorded in their hometown of Visalia, CA, the band's debut album "California Gold" is a paean to the dirt-road-back-streets and down to earth humanity of rural California's small towns and agricultural valleys.
The album recalls the lonesome pedal steel of Bakersfield country, Gram Parson's stories of sin & salvation, and Neil Young's loose and dusty years on the beach. Inspired by the humble humanity of the farm towns in California’s San Joaquin Valley that the band calls home, Daniel returned to his roots and wrote about the overlooked nooks and crannies of California flyover territories as a sort of metaphor for finding beauty in the simple things of everyday life.
Not the postcard views of Malibu sunsets and sandy beaches, but the California landscape of walnut orchards, rolling hills, and tule fog. No surprise they call it California Gold. Highly anticipated debut album from Brim.
4 stars - Shindig!
“California Gold is an infectiously catchy set of songs…it’s a humble but huge hearted debut album best heard as the sun sets” - Duncan Fletcher (Shindig!)
“California Gold, is glorious, – all Byrdsy three-part harmonies, lonesome pedal steel, fuzzy guitar and a chorus that’s bigger than a canyon.” - Sean Hannam (Americana UK)
