From psyched-out Krautrock to free-jazz wig outs to funk-flavoured downtempo jams, Brown Spirits endeavour to smash every show as if it was their last. Hailing from Melbourne (AUS) the band maintains a strict DIY recording ethic and comes with a handful of global releases, the 2 most recent albums being on UK's acclaimed Soul Jazz Records thus landing Brown Spirits as the first ever act from Australia to sign with the label.
Their 2023 album Solitary Transmissions and their new release Cosmic Seeds continue their tradition of 1960s–1970s inspired psychedelic jams and krautrock excursions. The band is praised for their democratic musicality and exploration into funk and jazz territories with moog‑driven melodies.
Brown Spirits have received recognition from national and international media outlets such as Mojo UK, Uncut Magazine, KEXP, and BBC Radio. They have performed alongside notable bands including Kikagaku Moyo (Japan), Frankie and the Witch fingers (USA), Minami Deutsch (Japan), Earthless (USA), and Yawning Man (USA). They are scheduled to perform at the Meredith Music Festival and Melbourne International Jazz Festival.
The band have shared stages with some their favourite offshore influences such as Kikagaku Moyo (Japan), Frankie and the Witchfingers (usa), Minami Deutsch (Japan), Earthless (usa) and Yawning Man (usa).
