Requiem is the sixth album by Californian punk rock band Bracket, released on February 7, 2006 on Takeover Records.
[1] Requiem would be the first album produced entirely by the band, with vocalist/guitarist Marty Gregori and guitarist Angelo Celli picking up all engineering, production and mixing credits.
[2] In addition to the pop punk sound the band has become known for, the album features a wide range of instrumentation including acoustic elements and string arrangements, as well as expansive vocal harmonies reminiscent of The Beach Boys scattered throughout.
In 1994, Bracket began releasing songs titled after Warren Rake, a friend of the band whose childhood artwork appeared in the liner notes of 924 Forestville St., their debut album which also included the first installment of tracks the band titled after him.
Since then, Bracket has continued to issue albums and EPs that usually included at least one "Warren's Song", each with its own individual number.
