Soon as I Can, sees this dynamic quartet of seasoned musicians dive deeper into the musical influences that originally united them. An electrifying mix of 9 tracks, recorded live at Montreal’s iconic Pierre Marchand Studio, this album was shaped with the expertise of veteran engineer Fred Bouchard and Brooks co-founder Marc Bell, capturing the raw, live energy that has defined the band for over a decade. With the soulful Alan 'Funt' Prater leading on vocals and trombone, the guitar and vocal creativity of Philippe Look, the rhythmic precision of percussionist Philippe Beaudin, and the deep psychedelic grooves of bassist and bandleader Alexandre Lapointe, Soon as I Can is sure to have you boppin’ & groovin'. With this new offering, The Brooks had a clear mission: to create an album that feels alive, as if you're right there in the room with them. So with the help of top-tier guest musicians, they set out to create the follow up to their critically acclaimed album Any Day Now, released in 2020.

The result is a sonic journey that effortlessly blends Soul, Funk, R&B, Jazz, Gospel, Disco, Afrobeat and Pop. Each song offers a unique vibe, from the slick, polished track Sista, which pays homage to the songstresses that inspire them, to the spontaneous jam that spawned Mirror, Mirror, capturing the soulful, laid back magic of the studio sessions, while giving listeners a rare glimpse into the group’s organic creative process.
