Editorial Reviews
Seen by many to be latter-day pioneers of the Nashville rock scene, the duo JEFF The Brotherhood is known for its rockin' live shows, prolific recorded output, relentless work and touring schedule, as well as its family-owned, super cool, vinyl-centered record label, Infinity Cat Recordings, which has been a pillar of support for Nashville bands since 2002 with over 70 releases to date.
JEFF The Brotherhood have built a reputation for stripping rock music down to its melodic rock basics and delivering manic live shows with Jamin's three drums and three cymbals and Jake's three-string guitar and ferocious vocals. The band's work ethic defines D.I.Y., from their simple but compelling videos to their self-produced and critically acclaimed albums (including 2011's We Are The Champions), EPs and singles.
JEFF The Brotherhood received critical acclaim for We Are The Champions, which was recorded by Roger Moutenot (Yo La Tengo, Sleater Kinney, Velvet Underground). The self-produced album took the band's sound, which has been described as psychedelic, classic rock, kraut-punk, garage pop, monster metal, scrungy, filthy, fizzy and fresh, to new heights, while continuing to dig into what Spin Magazine calls "the sweet spot between punk and hard rock."
Hypnotic Nights was co-produced by Dan Auerbach (of The Black Keys) and JEFF The Brotherhood and recorded at Auerbach's Easy Eye Sound Studio in Nashville.

Composed of two Nashville-based brothers (Jake and Jamin Orrall), JEFF the Brotherhood is a guitar-drums duo like the Black Keys or the White Stripes. The band's music, however, isn't like either of those bands (even though the The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach produces here). This album serves as the band's major-label debut, and HYPNOTIC NIGHTS is another entry of distorted, fuzzy, punk-rock that sounds like mid-90's alternative.
Beginning with the fantastic "Country Life," HYPNOTIC NIGHTS hits the ground running. The song is a great summer anthem, laced with a touches of saxophone and electronics. The following song, "Sixpack" has many of the same qualities, and these two songs start the album out with a pair of its best tracks. Unfortunately, things stall with "Mystic Portal II", a song that doesn't pack much of a punch and finds the band sounding bored with itself. "Wood Ox" sounds like it has potential, but vocalist Jake Orrall sounds detached and bored with himself midway through. Unfortunately, much of the back half of the album carries this feeling. "Region of Fire" slows the album down completely with its judicious use of sitar. "Dark Energy" feels a bit more serious than other songs on the album, and it pays off -- it's a slowburning, distorted, stoner-rock tune that takes its time. The album concludes with "Changes," a Black Sabbath reinterpretation that the band makes their own. Mellow, slow, and laced with synthesizer, it's strange way to end the album, especially given that the band doesn't really seem to take it too seriously.
Fans of Weezer, the Ramones, or Pavement will probably find material here to love; HYPNOTIC NIGHTS sounds like a blending of the three bands. For fans of JEFF the Brotherhood, HYPNOTIC NIGHTS is a fine entry into the band's canon. Listeners unfamiliar with the band would probably do well to start listening here Standout songs to sample/download: "Country Life," "Sixpack," and "Hyponitic Mind." This album can be frustrating -- it begins with its two best songs, and many of the latter songs feel as if they have more potential than is put on record.
(Additional Release Information)
The deluxe version of HYPNOTIC NIGHTS (Hypnotic Nights (Deluxe Version)) includes two bonus tracks: "Master of the Universe" and "I'm a Freak." Both of these songs are covers and recorded live. "Master of the Universe" is a Hawkwind cover, and "I'm a Freak" comes from Wicked Lady (both bands from the 1970's). These songs are fine, but not essential -- recommended only for JEFF the Brotherhood fans.
