'It's in there somewhere...' OUT NOW on Birdwar. 13 tracks of previously unreleased stuff. Order now at www.boomkat.com! or request it at your local record shop Indeed a new 10 inch is on it's way, it is a split with me and benjamin wetherill (see my top 8). It will be out in the UK on Birdwar records. STOP PRESS: I have done a collaboration which will be out on Plug Research (7" and download) it is "David Thomas Broughton and Chris Casati" featuring two songs we have made together "the rage" and "be my boy" - more details to come! In addition you can find an exclusive track, Poison, on an EP released by Astro Lab records (see top 8) from Paris, cookie&brownie 4. WORDS ON THE SHOWS... "More sound technician meets musician, a DTB live show seems more like carefully choreographed magic than music. Pottering around the stage, building up layers of sounds and recording samples on the fly, you almost can't believe that it’s happening. By the time he had recorded his own backing choir and was carefully singing over the top, the entire audience are silent and unmoving. My jaw actually dropped" - Sandman Magazine, Leeds, w/ Castanets and Jana Hunter "One long improv set, no breaks, involving holding carrots up to the microphone at one point, keeping several hundred people transfixed and getting the second biggest cheer I heard the whole weekend at the end of it" - cartilage.livejournal blog, Live at the End of The Road Festival WORDS ON THE SONG 'LIBERAZIONE'... "A five minute song of David Thomas Broughton just tunelessly crooning probably wouldn't up it into the eschelon of 'great acapella renditions'. But somehow he fills this song with a full band, slinking casually through a soulful song, moans echoing across the backdrop. Recordings of Broughton's voice as every member and instrument in the band make it not only novel, but still a truly powerful song. The singular voice, reciprocated ten times over, carries a weight and a sentiment stronger than one person should be able to. As Broughton relates himself as the cold ground, and accuses you of being the cold rain that can never quite mesh, the song disintegrates quickly in a slow flurry of glitches and studders. As it abruptly comes to a rest, five minutes wasn't long enough" - Mountainousmountains.blogspot WORDS ON THE COMPLETE GUIDE... "David Thomas Broughton's debut ought to catapult him somewhere near the head of the bearded class" - Pitchfork Media, 8.4, Recommended Music "The Complete Guide to Insufficiency stands as one hell of a debut, and easily one of the finest records of 2005" - Cokemachineglow, Top 50 Albums of 2005 "The Complete Guide to Insufficiency is basically flawless. It could easily be one track with five parts; the tracks blend together so seamlessly that skipping around would just kill the experience." - Tiny Mixtapes, 4.5/5 "I feel like I get a rosy glow in my cheeks when I listen to this record. Even with the odd and dark subject matter, Broughtons presence is remarkable." - Indie Workshop "If you didn't know any better, you'd think this record came out 30 years ago, and that some archivist had recently blown the dust off some old acetates to discover this lost masterpiece." - Music for Robots The Complete Guide to Insufficiency on iTunes The Dublab Podcast on iTunes |
