Bio / Background
Proud Simon is the music of Brian Keenan and friends. They currently operate as a 4-piece band in Brooklyn, NY.
The record 'Shoestring Universe' is a collection of sounds and stories, captured over the course of a year. Some are stories of old, retold to a new backdrop of textures and spaces; others were from the tips of tongues, songs that rose straight to the surface.
The songs represent a period of constant movement, and the eventual return to a place changed by time. From dark and dense bars of Eastern Europe, to the cold open air of Scandinavia, the songs encapsulate the essence of place.
Sonically, the collection marks a process by which new ideas worked to reshape the whole. Many of the tracks were recorded previously on a 6 song EP. The treatments for the LP version were a sea change in experimentation and articulation.
A host of musicians played on the album, including many local NYC performers.
