A lovely song from Nottingham, England’s House of Brothers. The press on this group drops Elliott Smith’s name all over the place, but I don’t hear it outside of the pretty melodies and finger-picked guitar. Just the same, there’s some lush orchestration, hand claps and reverbed out vocals. If that’s your bag, you’ll love this song.

MP3: House of Brothers – “Deadman” from their debut EP of the same name, set for release via Big Scary Monsters Records on November 26. MySpace.
