Biography

With their Chop Shop Records debut, Where We Are, Mackintosh Braun establish themselves as a formidable pop duo who blend crisp, sophisticated production with sharp, emotive songwriting. On tracks like the delicate but propulsive “Familiar” and the harmony-filled banger ”Nothing Else Is Real” the Portland, Oregon-based group conjure a cool intimacy that sets them apart from their peers. This is the kind of music you can break a sweat to on the dance floor with a new crush then play the next day to console yourself if they don’t call. “We both wanted to create something exciting and innovative, but that’s also familiar,” explains guitarist/keyboardist /producer Ian Mackintosh. “It has to sound different but it also has to give people something to hold onto. It has to give people hope.”

Considering that Portland is home to bands as varied as the Decemberists, YACHT, and Modest Mouse, the qualities that seem to define the city’s current scene are experimentation and singular sonic vision. And in these ways, there is no more quintessentially Portland band than Mackintosh Braun.

Both Ian Mackintosh and bassist/keyboardist/producer Ben Braun have deep roots in the Pacific Northwest. Ben was born in New York City but moved to Portland with his mom when he was nine.

    How are these not huge. I've only just discovered them and having listened to only half of Where We Are I'm hooked. Just sublime. I shall be listening to Another Cynthia following the dude below and his recommendation.

    Patsavas' really putting all her effort in making Mackintosh a known band. And I totally support her iniciative. First "Could it Be", then "Made For Us" --and now "The Same". Not complaining. I really enjoyed each one of these songs. One better than the previous. Just can't understand how "The Same" didn't make the final cut to "Where We Are"... Anyway, keep them coming, the songs are great!
