Here’s To Your Future

Steve Brodsky shouldn't be making solo albums. With Cave In recently reformed, he ought to be in the studio or on the road with the band 24/7. That's an unlikely scenario–and Brodsky seems to have plenty of time on his hands–which means the singer/songwriter has unleashed his latest solo full-length,Here's To Your Future. Delicate, intimate and at times warmly sardonic, the cassette (yes, it's only being released physically on tape) pits Brodsky's Jeremy Enigk-esque croon against loose acoustic sketches and washes of near-psychedelic hum. Blink and you'll miss the coy reference to Pavement's "Cut Your Hair" in Brodsky's "@ The OSC," a tale of disgruntled drone-hood that's a prime example of the album's folky, prog-pop awesomeness. Again, he shouldn't have made it. But be glad he did.
