Brevity lived up to their name in the most literal way—brief existence, buried recordings, belated discovery. This '70s Chicago outfit emerged when Rick Vittenson and Mark Breyer mashed up their surnames and created proto-power pop bridging the Byrds' jangle with Everly Brothers harmonies, all filtered through British Invasion sensibilities. Their sound was compelling enough to draw Badfinger and Harry Nilsson comparisons while catching attention from both Island Records and Frank Zappa's Bizarre/Straight label—though their tunes remained frustratingly vaulted for decades. Think Like A Key Music plays musical archaeologist with Home Is Where Your Dog Is, unearthing a time capsule proving some treasures improve with age. Vittenson, Breyer, and drummer David Winogrond continued shaping the Chicago/LA scene post-dissolution with Athanor and Skooshny, because when you're this good, one band isn't enough. Call it power pop perfection in miniature—Brevity proved the best things come in perfectly formed small packages.
