about
There are two artists listed under The Awful Truth. 1) Performing under the moniker The Awful Truth, Brent Colbert is an intuitive singer/songwriter and DIY musician living in Minneapolis, MN who has been direct support for acts like Owen Pallet, Angel Olsen, the The Dodos. Brent Colbert has played under the moniker The Awful Truth, releasing different formations of the band with various tours both solo and with band lineups. 2012's 'Birthright' is the folk ridden narrative of Colbert's time in Utah, before relocating to the Twin Cities back towards his Midwestern roots. Colbert's hypnotic folk songs shift shapes and provide duality and layers in meaning and perspective. After the release of ‘Birthright’, Colbert set out on a nationwide tour, performing 54 shows across North America (including a stop by the Daytrotter Studios) in the fall of 2012. Since relocating to Minneapolis in May of 2013, The Awful Truth has taken on a new sound with Laurie Geving, Stephen Sokolouski, and Chris Madden, filling Colbert’s songs with cathartic sounds, strings, and brooding pop melodies. The Awful Truth's 2015 release, 'Lakewater' is 7 surreal pop songs honing in on a new sound, both melodic and experimental. Performed with Laurie Geving, Stephen Sokolouski, and Chris Madden, 'Lakewater' is full of cathartic tones and strings, creating brooding pop melodies no doubt inspired by the dramatic seasons in the Midwest. The record was recorded by Andrew Jansen (Dial Up, Crimes) in South Minn
