Red Cities (album)

Red Cities is the 2002 debut solo album of American musician Chris Brokaw, following the demise of his earlier band Come.

The idea for the album was originally conceived in 1998, the centerpiece of the entire project being "The Fields (Part II)".

"[8] Pitchfork's praiseful review of Red Cities' follow-up Wandering as Water referred to both albums as "largely vocal offering[s] creep[ing] along an unadorned path towards anachronistic purity.

"[9] In his positive review of the album for Hot Press magazine, Colin Carberry stated that "some of the tracks on Red Cities are so vividly redolent of a sense of place, it could almost be the soundtrack for a series of imaginary J.G Ballard travelogues.

magazine, asserts that "[t]here is absolutely no hint of pretension within the album, just a stepped back assault of thoughtful and clever 'soundtrack' music for your aching soul.
