"From 2006 in Canada/British Colombia 5 tune entering CDR of 4 human groups “THE MACADAMIA BROTHERS which” are active. Extremely by at all inexpressible exquisite balance where naturally, and you do not display the air completely and main solid way of your own air you are by melody and the balance and others which were played gently, being produced [ru] miraculous harmony….As for " KINGDOM 5KR " of especially 2 numbers be too splendid. This CDR the value large, style which purchases is different even just in order to inquire about this tune, but it is the famous musical work of the extent which lines up into the famous musical work " NO SURPRISE " of that JAMES YUILL!! ?MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED"

The Macadamia Brothers aka Scott (no surname available at time of writing) from Vancouver, making doink-doink indie-pop that in the case of this one song sounds like The Unicorns as just one guy with an acoustic guitar. I am like, so sweet on him right now, and in particular I am sweet on ‘(So) Into You’, with its "yeah, I already mentioned the Unicorns and its soooo much like The Unicorns" penny whistle and swaying, staggery acousticy tweeness and sweetly passive-aggressive “handshakes aren’t enough when you’re enemies” refrain. It’s not on his myspace, for whatever reason, but it is on the media player on Rack & Ruin’s front page, so make sure to listen to it there. This is not to say that The Macadamia Brothers’ myspace songs are weak, of course- minus the penny whistle, they sound less like The Unicorns (actually its not even just the penny whistle...), but still, there are many fine acts that don’t sound at all like The Unicorns, so that’s alright I guess. One of them even has a kazoo! ‘Misplaced Footwear’ is especially good too, and also more developed, layers-wise. God I love The Unicorns, though. How great was ‘Who Will Cut Our Hair When We’re Gone?’ I wish I was in a band that was even half as brilliant a pop band as The Unicorns were. If you too really like The Unicorns, and would like to you know, get together some time and just listen to them and sigh, then please- feel free to drop me a line.

Continuing the trend of misleadingly named "bands"on Rack and Ruin Records, The Macadamia Brothers consists of Canuckman Scott and... nobody else; not his sibling, nor a fellow friar. In fact, not even he is a friar!

He doesn't specialise in making one particular sound of music, unless "good" can be considered a genre of its own. Amongst his polarised array of tunes is '(So) Into You', a song which resembles an even more layaround version of the Unicorns; its lazy, longing, seaside strumming of an acoustic guitar so bright and lulling that you'll be listening to it with your eyes in that comfortable glazed state somewhere between perfect relaxation and sleep and your only remaining thought will be "why don't I have a stalk of hay between my lips and why is it pissing rain out?". Its proud recorder riff is cleverly positioned so as to lay the foundations of the childlike chorus melody ("do do do do, she's so into you") within your head from the off.

However, the swift concise pop song is not the only thing within The Macadamia Brothers' area of expertise, as April's Tomatoey Plates EP proves, sounding like a particularly lush and epic videogame soundtrack with wintery bells making it more ideal for listening to right now rather than in the early spring of its release. Each of the three sprawling songs on it contain a soothing repetition of the figures which are established, stretched and slowly garnished, all the time perfectly happy within themselves and displaying what could almost be considered to be an ambitiouslessness which is somehow exactly what makes them so ambitious.
