Generationals drummer Tess Brunet recently posted an unmastered cut from her forthcoming solo debut as Au Ras Au Ras. I've been keeping a close eye on the project since helping Kickstart it back in October, and then perhaps even more so after learning Everybody Taste favorite Seth Kauffman of Floating Action would be producing playing on the record. "Jon," set on a train with a lovelorn drifting narrator, is a promising taste of things to come with a raw bass and soft organ riding on top of steady uptempo drums and Brunet's honeyed intimate vocals. More details and a release date to come. For now, follow Brunet on Twitter or Facebook for updates.
It's not often fans get the opportunity to directly support and fund an artist's music. But New Orleans musician Tess Brunet—the drummer for Everybody Taste favorites Generationals—is short on cash and needs help Kickstarting her debut record as Au Ras Au Ras. If you need convincing, check out a demo from Brunet along with her homemade promotional video for the project. Donate just one dollar and you'll receive a digital download of the recording when it's finished. Not a bad deal. Head to Kickstarter to check out the rest of the contribution scale's prizes.
