Brandy Zdan
SPIN says: “Brandy Zdan might not actually sound that much like Jenny Lewis, but with country-tinged harmonies this sweet and songwriting this sharp, the comparisons are inevitable. “More Than a Man,” Zdan’s new single, sees the Nashville singer/songwriter (and former member of roots duo Twilight Hotel) laying fetching pop/rock melodies over production that’s almost new wave-reminiscent in its sparkling cleanliness.”
For the better part of the last decade, the native Canadian- now living in Nashville TN- has garnered acclaim as half of the Gothic/folk duo Twilight Hotel, with two albums 2008’s Highway Prayer and 2011’s When the Wolves Go Blind, nominated for prestigious Juno Awards (Canada’s Grammy), as a formidable multi-instrumentalist (touring and recording with the Americana all girl band The Trishas), and even as a solo artist (with LoneStarMusic hailing her 2013 Lone Hunter EP as ” a one-woman tour de force.”) But according to the artist herself, all of that was merely a prelude to the aptly-titled Brandy Zdan, the most focused expression of her musical identity to date.
