about
Inner Ear Brigade (IEB) is an ensemble of musicians based in the San Francisco Bay Area who play a unique mix of progressive rock, jazz, and experimental pop, all delivered through their originally detailed compositions and arrangements.
The music is fun, happy, accessible, and proggy. Steeped with a vintage analog sensibility, effects processing, and synthesizers, IEB crafts their sounds from RIO (Rock In Opposition), Canterbury, and Zappa.

Stylistically, Inner Ear Brigade is in a class of their own, with complex compositions reminiscent of other avant progressive bands like Thinking Plague, Cheer-Accident, and MoeTar, but also a tinge of jazz in the same way that Canterbury bands like National Health and Hatfield and the North did it. The result is thoroughly engaging, and a joy for fans of intelligent music that also connects emotionally. Perkunas is one of the standout releases of the year. Don’t let anyone tell you that music isn’t as good as it used to be.”
