Bracken

Though Bracken started as a way for <a href="spotify:artist:6fLY0fk62ACnHx1QAWXvEZ">Hood</a>'s Chris Adams to further explore the experimental grime he had first touched upon in 1997 under the moniker <a href="spotify:artist:2KLBtvsRFqVI7gXE9GYhzH">Downpour</a>, as he began working in his basement studio in Leeds, he soon realized that something different -- slower, and more contemplative -- was coming out instead, and decided to go with it. Part experimental, part indie electronica, Bracken fit in well with the rest of the Anticon roster he was signed to, a label he had been in contact with since 2001, when <a href="spotify:artist:5pQjRhCKmFtkDZSy67Z0tp">Odd Nosdam</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5sEAp7hSgvYjKIEd9r2zBc">Doseone</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:0d7aBBLFcc4dlETnae6zcH">Why?</a> contributed to <a href="spotify:artist:6fLY0fk62ACnHx1QAWXvEZ">Hood</a>'s album Cold House. Anticon released Bracken's single Heathen in the fall of 2006, and the following January the full-length We Know About the Need came out. ~ Marisa Brown, Rovi
