"[Brunswick] doesn't try to dazzle the listener with music theory — they play to engage the listener, coloring and shaping Hulley’s compositions with a song-first mentality. By taking this approach, his melodies, and not the individual player’s abilities, live in your head long after the band’s stopped playing."

-Chris Bopst
 

“The stunning debut from jazz outfit Brunswick gracefully explores the conceits found in the popular big band sound before throwing them for a loop. With someone like John Hulley at the helm, it's unsurprising that no genre is left unturned and each sonic exploration feels eclectic and otherworldly. It's the musical company that Hulley keeps that makes "Five Years" one of the strongest debuts of the year”
