Brood22 is an emerging artist who recently burst onto the scene with his debut EP, no good at instructions. His latest release, just past the exit with the truck stop, is a slow-burning project that blends elements of art rock, dream pop, and shoegaze. Dusty guitar riffs, fuzzy bass, and lulling drums immerse the listener in hazy Southwestern-inspired soundscapes. The album’s minimalist textures take us on a ghostly, atmospheric journey. Thematically, the album explores concepts of self-realization and removing toxic influences. Brood22’s new album, just past the exit with the truck stop, is a ruminative experience and the perfect addition to any indie playlist.
