Howie Reeve live

In the organizer's words:

HOWIE REEVE (Glasgow)
This is the fourth time Howie has played for Brause, but the last time was 8 years ago! We are all the more pleased that he will be visiting us again and playing live for us. In the meantime, Howie has released 3 more vinyl albums and various digital albums! Unconventionally structured songs with acoustic bass, plowing their own furrow to try and navigate the world we live in - tender, explosive, running the gamut of emotions - vulnerable, quirky, generous, human.

Reviews of the latest album Leaf in Fog: "I remember being struck by the angular post-punk noise explosions on first listen, but when I listened to it again, and even now every time I listen to it (countless times now), it's the delicacy and beauty that continues to define the album for me." (Soren Brothers, Ur Audio Visual)
"This is a beautiful record, a fine set of songs, observations, drawings, not sketches, real drawings, strong drawings, they sound like delicate drawings, they're not, these are strong drawings...like looking at the secrets in a good sketchbook... Some of it is experimental, well, more unconventionally detailed than experimental..." (Sean Worrall, Organ Thing)
"Unplugged punk genius Howie Reeve is a linchpin in Glasgow's DIY community...a stunning bassist." (Nicola Meighan, The Herald)
"Life-affirming... fragile, funny, dripping with empathy and above all fantastic song craft." "Howie Reeve is a unique and singular figure in the current British underground... he delivers fragmented and deft music that incorporates post-punk and avant-folk. Increasingly turning to songwriting, he captivates audiences with cryptic, intimate and unsettling lyrics." (Chris Joynes)
"The DIY gigs Howie is involved in feel like the living out of more controllable, microcosmic stage ideals and how the world should be, rather than how it presents itself." (Andrew Neal, Louder Than War, 02/23/2015)
Review by Double Rainbow: "Howie Reeve's approach is essentially one that is detached from the traditions of 'making a pop record'... Part of a wider tradition of underground troubadours and gleemen, musical ranters and shakers who captivate audiences through their strength of character." (Richard Foster, The Quietus, 22/02/2021)
