BRTLMN debuts with his Fluttering Around a Core EP, a beautifully abstract piece resembling the abrasive yet copacetic nature of the works of his brother, Wordsalad. the song Frell casts images of a snowy mountain breaking off into the sky, its shadow encasing the forest below. FS sounds like an infinitely combusting peice of lumber splintering into a kaleidescope of scattered images. we expect great things from BRTLMN.
