brent iii

On Jeremy Zucker and Chelsea Cutler’s third collaborative project, they expand their ambitious scope, building out the collection as a full-length album as opposed to the EP lengths of the first two iterations. The meeting between these two solo artists is one of the most impressive connections in pop and folk music. On *brent iii*, their chemistry is on full display, again turning in an album of rich instrumental arrangements and harmonies. Take “i miss you,” an acoustic lament that looks back longingly on the good old days of a relationship. The duo worry that they’ve become faces in the crowd, diminished from their once proud place as loving partners to the subject of the song. They sing: “’Cause I miss you/Is this exactly what you thought we\'d become?/Do you see me how you see everyone?/’Cause I need you.” Few make heartbreak sound as sweet as Jeremy Zucker and Chelsea Cutler.
