"Ridgewood, New Jersey native Evan Brody created Family Portrait in the spring of 2009. Produced with best friend Julian Lynch, mixed by Sam Franklin (Big Troubles, Fluffy Lumbers) and recorded at the Brody family home, the first Family Portrait LP is intricate, intimate and lingering pop music.The album features cameos from La Big Vic front-woman Emilie Friedlander on violin and back up vocals and Jackson Pollis (Dream Band, MisShapes) on drums. Underwater Peoples is proud to be releasing such a personal, yet wholly communal endeavor." - UPR.
