YOUNGER BROTHER - VACCINE ELECTRONIC

Younger Brother was formed by Simon Posford (Hallucinogen, Shpongle) and Benji Vaughan (Prometheus, The Zap!) in 2002. The name "Younger Brother" is inspired by an indigenous Colombian tribe called The Kogi, for whom the band wrote their first song. The Kogi refer to themselves as "Elder Brothers" and the people of western civilisations as "Younger Brothers." The debut album A Flock of Bleeps released on Posford's Twisted Records in 2003 has taken on cult status in the underground electronica scenes around the world. The duo has since then been drawing crowds in the thousands from London to Tokyo, New York to Australia. Their second album, The Last Days Of Gravity was released in October 2007 on Twisted Records. This album narrowly missed out on a mercury prize nomination in 2008 when it was voted 19th ( the top 12 are nominated). Since the release of The Last Days Of Gravity the band have been touring the world with a five piece band. At the moment it comprises Ru Campbell on vocals, Marc Brownstein on Bass, Tommy Hamilton on guitar and Joe Russo on Drums. In November 2008 the full band convened at Assault and Battery studios in north London, UK, to commence recording of their third album. By recording with a full band Younger brother have propelled their music to a new level. This would eventually result in their third studio LP 'Vaccine', released on April 11, 2011. This added Ruu Campbell as a member. With his vocal presence permeating the LP, they forged out what is now known as one of their signature cuts, 'Train'. On April 30, 2014, they released 'Vaccine Electronic', their fourth studio LP, serving as a self-made remix package to Vaccine. The record has more of an electronica focus and was made to appeal to Hallucinogen fans, and/or fans of 'A Flock of Bleeps'.
