MOJO
Album: New Pagan Love Song
By Sylvie Simmons

Similarly undervalued – if young and from New York – Brill writes masterful songs , singing them (as I recently saw him do live, solo, with acoustic guitar) with an understated beauty a la Elliott Smith or E of eels. On his third full album, he plays with sound and production in an un-Americana way, using electro-percussion, piano and grooves, but the songs are no less good.
