Brother, Sister is third and most recent album by indie rock band mewithoutYou and was released on September 26, 2006 through Tooth & Nail Records. It is also known by the title Brother Sun, Sister Moon based on a canticle written by St. Francis of Assisi. Indeed, the album art has drawings of a sun and moon in the title, and one song is entitled "the Sun and the Moon." The sun and the moon are also said to represent the Christian and Hindu faiths as many of the lyrics from the song "the Sun and the Moon" are drawn from the Bhagavad Gita, a Hindu scripture.
The album sees the band expanding on the more atmospheric elements of the previous release Catch for Us the Foxes, without entirely abandoning the post-hardcore roots of their debut. Brother, Sister features many guest vocal and instrumental appearances (which included members from Anathallo and the Psalters), where previous albums had very few or none at all.

This albums is amazing! The lyrics are deeply poetic, throught provoking, and very relatable. Musically it is great at going from heavy post-hardcore sounds to accordian and acoustic guitar driven folk songs. I love it!

This Cd has Catchy tunes. Although sometimes the lyrics don't seem to make any sense they are still good. Some of the songs are strange but most of them are really good.
