We Say...
A former player in slo-core godfathers Codeine and the Boston band Come, Brokaw has crafted one of the more interesting film soundtracks in recent memory to accompany an autobiographical coming-of-age movie by Asian-American filmmaker Roddy Bogawa. It's sort of like the Buzzcocks meets Phillip Glass, if that makes any sense at all.

They Say...
The soundtrack to a full-length experimental work by the obscure independent filmmaker Roddy Bogawa, I Was Born, But... consists almost entirely of meditative solo guitar pieces by Chris Brokaw. Closer in feel to Roy Montgomery or Sonic Youth guitarist Lee Ranaldo's experimental solo albums than John Fahey and his avant folk acolytes, these are primarily electric pieces, some layering multiple guitar and feedback drones with some simple hand percussion, a few strictly solo improvisations, and one or two (most notably "On a Great Lake") that approach conventional indie rock. Free of the visual element, these 13 pieces (most, barring the 11-minute epic "Chinatown," in the one to two-minute range) are simple and abstract, but with a strong melodic core that keeps them from floating off into the ambient ether.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
