Tired of Not Being Away from Here

[1] Members of Before Braille that contributed to the recording of this album include: David Jensen, Brandon Buckmister, Kelly Reed, and Rajiv Patel.

Also contributing to this album were: Gary Church on Cornet, Joe Hopkins on saxophone and clarinet, and John Woodcock on violin.

While this second LP departs from the more hook-driven sound of Before Braille's first effort, The Rumor, the critical consensus was very positive.

For example, according to Chelsea Ide of the Phoenix New Times, "Tired of Not Being Away From Here has the same signature style as other Before Braille records -- powerful rock with gut-wrenching lyrics -- but with this latest effort, the Phoenix band has spread its wings a bit wider" to offer a fuller sound "with stronger guitar bridges throughout.

"[2] Reviewing all of these same songs when they were released on the limited Cattle Punching on a Jack Rabbit EP, critics at Interpunk.com took notice of this difference as well, remarking that in "the past, people have tried to lump [ Before Braille ] into some sort of indie-pop rock category--maybe due to their success at CMJ & college radio--but this record is far edgier than anything they've done in the past.
