The Jerry Cans – “Swell (My Brother)”
The Jerry Cans released an absolutely anthemic one here with “Swell (My Brother).” Lyrically, the song is touching, dealing with the tragic loss of a brother. It’s done so with powerfully plodding repetition, catchy even in its somberness, fleshed out even further by a poignant violin. A perfect song for fans of orchestral-tinged indie rock like Manchester Orchestra, Arcade Fire, or even The National.
This video is worth watching – filmed in some really beautiful (and seemingly remote) areas of Canada. Otherwise, swing by Spotify and add it to your playlist.
