Experience the profound artistry of Brandes with his thought-provoking new track “From The Higher Ground”
In an era of ever-evolving music landscapes, England-based indie rock artist Brandes is making waves with his latest single, “From The Higher Ground”. This powerful track diverges from his earlier folk-inspired releases and brings fresh rock energy to the scene, captivating listeners with both its sound and message.
Brandes, also known as Peter Bradley, hails from Wellington, Telford. His journey into music follows an eclectic career path, which includes serving as a Labour MP and authoring the acclaimed book “The Last Train – A Family History of the Final Solution”.
Reclaiming his family name Brandes (pronounced ‘Brundus’), lost in the Holocaust, he has brought a deeply personal and historical perspective to his work. You can listen to our full playlist which contains the artist’s music, and know more about the artist’s work by scrolling down the page.
“This song is about the way we live and the state we’re in,” Brandes explains. “My view of the world may not sound particularly optimistic but I hope that the song’s uplifting in its own way because it’s only when we know where we are that we can hope to get where we need to be.” This sentiment resonates through the song, showcasing his talent for weaving meaningful lyrics with compelling indie rock instrumentation, crafted alongside Dale Fewtrell and produced by Jonny Amos at The Song Lab, Birmingham.
“From The Higher Ground” is a standout track because it not only questions the current state of the world but does so with a gripping indie rock approach. This is a clear shift from the folk rock/spoken word style of his debut singles “Please Don’t Call” and “Like A Dagger”. The song’s reflective nature, ending with the poignant question, “Is this the way the end was meant to be?”, encapsulates the existential musings many listeners can relate to.
