Braindoll

about

Braindoll is a progressive, New York-based quintet that many people compare to Radiohead, given their "indie brit-pop" like sound. On many file-sharing services, their song "From Scratch" is mislabelled as a Radiohead song; many believe this is a Radiohead B-side because of the sonic similarity of the instrumentation as well as the vocal phrasing and style of this particular track. While it is possible that the song is influenced by Radiohead, it is clearly not Thom Yorke on the microphone. It has been insinuated that the band themselves purposefully mislabelled the track in order to gain exposure and listeners, but these allegations have not been substantiated. Furthermore, a visit to the Braindoll's website confirms that the track is theirs (with the recording glitch in the middle of the song intact, identical to the ubiquitously-mislabelled track), and it is correctly labelled on the site; thus, the myth that Braindoll's "From Scratch" track is actually an unreleased Radiohead B-side should now be easily disproven. Despite the similarities in sound and comparisons to Radiohead due in part to the widespread downloading of the one mislabelled track, Braindoll does indeed have their own unique style, with mellow, melodic music accompanied by equally chilled-out vocals, which are harmonized and layered and include lyrics which contain relatively cerebral and poetic themes.
