Ava Sllam-Hyjzi, Play the Universe BRAIN APE was founded by childhood friends Minky Très-vain and Sol Alex Albret. The duo recorded their first single under the supervision of Status Quo and Nightwish producer Pip Williams. The band first gained public attention in 2017 with the release of ‘Give Me My P45’, distributed by London independent record label Scratch Rock Records, as the first and lead single from their second studio album ‘Auslander’. Earning them international airplay the album launched BRAIN APE into two years of European touring, playing alongside such acts as Ethyrfield (Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath), Dutch Mustard, False Heads (championed by Iggy Pop), Rival Bones, and White Eskimo (Harry Styles). Having played alongside such acts as Wheatus, Frank Turner, Milk Teeth, The Blinders, and Strange Bones, BRAIN APE have steadily been gaining a reputation as a fierce live act, whose shows are often threatened with smashed guitars, moshing crowds, and a stage-diving front man. ------------------------------------------------------ "'Morning Song' features a true bit of bliss, proving the Kid and I to be a tremendously powerful work."
