Brent Randall and His Pinecones

Brent Randall and His Pinecones, hailing from Halifax Nova Scotia, are a little rare gem - the kind you stumble across and wonder why these friendly east-coasters aren’t playing sold-out stadiums internationally. A throw-back to the singer/songwriter days of the likes of Harry Nilsson and Randy Newman, watching him and his Pinecones in action makes you feel as though you are catching one of Bob Dylan’s first shows (and he kinda looks like him!) . . . you will
want everyone you know to see him and buy his album (and give you credit for finding him first). Quite Precisely is a sophomore album, that, as the name suggests, is polished, professional and precise . . . all the while staying uniquely upbeat and mysterious all at once. With galloping drumbeats, masterful minor-chord keyboard, and carefully crafted vocals, this album is amazingly unsigned and beautifully produced by the Halifax artist collective “Just Friends Records”. The album artwork is spot-on as well . . . intriguing Alice in Wonderland-style drawings, photos and fonts complete the overall thematic scope that is fully accomplished. Oh, and if you have the pleasure of seeing them live, they also wear matching mustard-yellow jackets, sewn by one of the Pinecones herself.
