Brian Campeau (born 1980) is a Canadian multi-instrumental musician and producer, based in Australia since 2002.

Early life

Brian Campeau is originally from Ottawa, Canada. He graduated from Guelph University in 1999. He moved to Sydney, Australia in 2002. He later relocated to Melbourne.

Career

Since 2002 Brian Campeau has released 6 studio albums under his name and 4 studio albums as a member of Green Mohair Suits. He also collaborated with other artists Elana Stone, Melanie Horsnell, Passenger, All Our Exes Live in Texas, Hinterlandt and Clio Renner. He released a solo double-album, Two Faces in mid-2006.[1] The Sydney Morning Herald's Bernard Zuel determined, he is "interested in both electronic and folk music... one disc placing a greater emphasis on a song-based approach; the other exploring their electronic possibilities."[1] Zuel notes that Campeau is a former jazz and punk musician.[1]

For his next album, Mostly Winter, Sometimes Spring (August 2009), used a different instrument for each of 15 tracks and produced the recording himself.[2] theDwarf.com.au' Daniel Townsend found it an "intriguing concept" but "doesn't make for much of an album" with "no real radio-friendly moments".[2] Zuel rated it at 3 out-of 5.[3]

Old Dog, New Tricks was issued in August 2018 via Art As Catharsis.[4] Hamza Siddiqi of Overdrive Music Magazine approved of Campeau's "positive vibes and psychedelia" as "Each pleasingly mid-pace song throws hook after hook at you from every direction."[4]

His song "Montreal" was used in NAB's 'More Give, Less Take' advertisement campaign.[5]
