Biography

Combining the intimacy of a piano based singer-songwriter with dark electronics and jazz harmonics: Brett Gleason’s music has been called ‘revolutionary’ and garnered comparisons to a diverse array of artists like Trent Reznor, Tori Amos and Depeche Mode.

Created with a vow to play all instruments and self-produce every detail, his latest record, ‘The Thawing’ is an operatic set of new tracks both vulnerable and bleak. With an emphasis on a classical piano background and the addition of strings, this sophisticated sophomore effort is a seamless development of Brett’s unique, layered sound.

From Brooklyn, NY by way of Long Island, Gleason released ‘The Dissonance’ in early 2010 with the ‘I Am Not’ video climbing to the top of MTV Logo’s ‘The Click List’ for 20 weeks. Followed by the controlled chaos of ‘’Futile & Fooled’ in 2011, Brett returned to the studio, not to emerge until early 2012 as the destroyer of ‘Destruction’.

    I am actually not a fan of NIN/Trent Reznor so maybe there's a point to be made here. While Brett Gleason may have the intensity of Trent Reznor; he is not Trent. Brett has a greater quality to his music stylings and is a better lyricist. People will always compare, but I hear more individualism here. IMHO.

    Brett Gleason is fantastic! His emotional lyrics combined with his elegantly somber voice is superb. I can see it's very well done with his risque unique musical composition. Presents a very great yet different sound that haven't heard in a long time.

    Thanks for the thoughts Mr. RR but I'm not really looking to rip off Trent Reznor, as amazing as he is. The soundscapes of my music are influenced by NIN but I'm going for a much softer approach with a more singer/songwriter composition style. So, yes, comparing F & F to a song like 'The Becoming' won't quite fly...

    I had to give it a few listens, and yes, this is teriible. I don't believe Trent Reznor deserves mentioning on the same page as this trash. That fooled and futile sounds like a cheap mockery of the masterpiece; The Becoming, by NIN, which I just have to play now to relieve myslef of this wretched experience, like escaping from a stuffy room you have been into for too long and then enjoying the cool breeze.
