When O'Brother emerged out of Atlanta in the mid-2000s, they were talented instrumentalists and precocious writers of lushly arranged rock songs that were imaginitive and dynamic, but also sometimes subdued. And while the group's aspirations clearly aimed skyward, the songs from their early EPs were still tethered to this world.

Something happened between then and now, starting with their ambitious debut album in 2011, "Garden Window." O'Brother tightened their sound, added layers, and expanded their songwriting, making full use of Tanner Merritt's vocal range to shape a landscape of narratives. The group really broke through in 2013 with their sweeping full-length album, "Disillusion."

Next week, O'Brother will release their follow-up, "Endless Light," via Triple Crown Records/Favorite Gentlemen. It could be their most haunting yet, from the build up of opening track "Slow Sin" to the quiet interlude (relatively speaking) of "Burn," through the choral pastures of the title track to the final fade of "Realm of the Physical."
