The Brightmares is the musical project of brothers Brendan and Damon Smith. Born and raised in New York City, they started writing music together in 2008, and have been collaborating ever since. As members of the band The Jacobins, they collaborated on an album and an EP. In 2020, they found themselves in lockdown together and decided it was the perfect time to start a new project together. The Brightmares was born, and they began work on a debut album. Recording in a basement in upstate New York and various bedrooms around Brooklyn, the brothers honed their musical vision alongside their good friend and producer Griffin Jennings. After countless overdubs, string arrangements, and mixing sessions, an album was conceived. They released their debut album, "When the World Gets Fixed," in June of 2022. Damon is currently at work on a solo record called "Spectator," which will be dropping in 2024. Brendan sings in the viral sensation tenor trio known as T.3, and they recently celebrated the release of a brand new EP called "Option Up." The Brightmares are heading back into the studio in 2024 and are eager to get to work on their follow-up record.InstagramFacebookSpotify
