O’Brother has been on a heck-of-a-ride these past few years. The notches in the Atlanta band’s touring belt are enviable: The Features, Thrice, Moving Mountains, Junius and, most recently, Alice in Chains. (Let’s not forget their frequent pairing with their pals in Manchester Orchestra, either.) The ethereal, epic-leaning rock act’s stint with AIC ended a few days ago but, being the hard-working crew that they are, toured all the way back home.
Check out bassist Anton Dang’s responses to our 5GB series,and revisit a cut from their debut LP, Garden Window, above.
