Brother & Co. is an American rock band from Somerville, Massachusetts. The band was formed in 2012 by singer-songwriter Joshua Pritchard and his identical twin brother John.[1] The Pritchard brother's previous musical group, Ruin/Renewal, released two EP's on the independent Portsmouth, New Hampshire based music label Burst and Bloom.[2]
Production for Brother & Co.'s debut album Unknow You was partially funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign in May 2013,[3] which was lauded by the alternative music criticism website Powder My Noise.[4]
Unknow You was recorded over four days in January 2013 at Q Division Studios. The album received advance praise from the music criticism website Jamsphere.com, which hailed the release as "utterly unique," and "one of the best indie albums [of 2013]."[5] Unknow You was first released in June 2013, but received a secondary release in December 2013. Following the album's second release, The Noise Music New England praised it as "unique and moving."[6]
The band released the two-song EP SACRED OBJECT in April 2014.[7]
