About
Corbu is a collective of Brooklyn musicians led by Jonathan Graves and Bryan Noll.
From the French blog Mets-toi á la page:
”A game between the acoustic and electronic. A trip between space and earth. Corbu leads us in the middle of everything. Where there are no benchmarks. Where all the world is lost. Where we do not know what is joy or pain (as we play in between).”
Corbu uses electronic and sampled textures alongside smokey 70’s rock guitars and soulful vocals to drive through a dream-like landscape that is at once abstract, cathartic and familiar.
Jonathan attributes some of the contrast in Corbu’s music to his childhood experiences of playing hockey in Pittsburgh and singing at Catholic weddings in the same afternoon. Both he and Bryan grew up in the woods around western and central Pennsylvania.
