Comments: "Omaha, NE's Little Brazil have peeled away layers of themselves: elation, desperation, tenderness, hope, sorrow and pain and found the tempestuous core of their shared experience--a series of narratives that make up their new album "Son" bound by the common thread of family dysfunction and tragedy. Tracing the arc of a relationship from it's wonderful, romantic beginning through an ending that is all too familiar to the children of broken homes, songwriter Landon Hedges eschews the hackneyed boy/girl adolescent, melodrama of six-million inferior records and plows head-on into divorce, adultery, custody battles, parental alienation, abandonment, suicide and a child's search for self. The type of grown up shit that would make Hedges' former Saddle Creek Records band-mates proud, and even envious. With "Son", Hedges firmly puts himself in the pantheon of great Omaha songwriters.

This is energetic and well-polished with plenty of pop sensibility.
