Je ziet het wel vaker, dat rond de release van een nieuw album van een act een oud album nog even opnieuw in de markt gezet wordt voor midprice om een graantje mee te pikken van verwachtte successen van een...
A bad month for the BBC, standards falling, an elderly gentleman inappropriately used on air, and the decision making of those from the top to the bottom of the corporation called into question. Yes, Thats right Alan Yentob presented ' Imagine: Jay Z - He Came, He Saw, He Conquered '. At least it's a snappier title than the original choice: ' Is this really all thats left of the arts coverage of the most respected broadcaster in the world: Lets give Hip-Hop an hour long documentary in a decent time slot but why not get a middle aged, [...]
As we waited in the pews for this show to begin there was considerable debate amongst us about Sylvain Chauveau. Not about whether he was any good or not, or even what our favourite album was. Instead, we found ourselves confused as to whether "Chauveau" meant "horses" or "hair" in French. Thankfully, [...]
Sometimes when I buy a new album I play it but often halfway through a track will fast forward to the next track and so on just to get a quick feel for it. In Peter Brodericks case I found this quite difficult as it's so diverse and ever changing. The first track Games , starts with a multi layered choral track which is all Peter but leaves you wondering if you have picked up the correct Peter Broderick country folk album. However, by the second track, And it's alright , you know you have. A [...]
Peter Broderick - Games Again.mp3 [Audio player] A little slowcore to fill a cold autumn room. Peter Broderick 's Home is out as of September 23rd, definitely worth picking up. hushrecords.com/broderick - myspace - hypem - amazon - itunes
The alleged fusion of contemporary and classical music has been a noticeable, if somewhat subtle, force over the past several years. For me, the first time I recalled an artist blatantly mentioning the mixture as an intentional component in his own work was when previously featured German composer Max Richter proudly used the tag "post-classical" to describe his music. It sounds simple enough in its phrasing: music with elements reminiscent of classical music in an accessible modernistic format. Sub-categorizing the sub-genre even more, we can also look at conventional and experimental artists within the field of post-classical. Conventionalists are often [...]
Peter Broderick Home (09.2008. Hush) File Under = Atmospheric singer songwriter It's not super common to have two separate albums from the same artist in the same year, particularly albums as diverse as Peter Broderick's. However, I think it is pretty safe to say that Broderick is not a particularly common talent. In fact, Beyond releasing two solo albums this year, Broderick has also released another amazing album with his band Horse Feathers, recorded and toured with Efterklang and well just about everyone else releasing music in the northwest recently (Laura Gibson, [...]
Peter Broderick - Games Again. Sometimes when you're in a drought, you have to borrow your rain from someone else. Luckily for us folks in the southland, Portland has always got plenty of drizzle to spare. This is the sound of that first whiff of warm wet pavement, the gentle snap of the leaves in the trees, the cool damp air. It's the sound of small changes of the subtle seasons. It's asking for something already knowing the negative answer. Those of you playing along at home may know Peter Broderick from his work as one half of Portland's Horse...
Amy Bennett - Exposure (2006) This is the cold pressure of rain like whiskey on the roof of your mouth. It is the sustained drench of days counted at the pace of thoughts left alone to concentrate. What does the mouthful say? That your salivary glands are a slow-motion car wash. And that every experience sounds better when gargled with the members of a choir. Peter Broderick [...]
Everlasting... I was having a conversation the other day with a friend in regards to reality being a personal visual medium, in terms of what we see as individuals is the reality that exists for that individual. I think that reality would be better defined as one's truth. What you believe to be real. I think that the confusion of these terms leads to social blindness, as in if someone believes that their truth is the actual reality, and no other version can exist, it is that fundamental extreme behavior that seems to be poisoning people today. Reality [...]
Horse Feathers, House With No Home (Kill Rock Stars, 2008) MP3: "Working Poor " Recently, Canadian folk acts such as Great Lakes Swimmers, Sunparlour Players, and the Hidden Cameras have gained a fairly decent amount of success by combining traditional folk music with a contemporary sound. You would figure that Portland, Oregon is close enough to the Land of the Free (health care, that is) that a band would be able to gain access to that formula simply through osmosis. Not the case with [...]

Peter Broderick - Refining You've probably already heard Peter Broderick, even if you don't know it. It may have been the last time I mentioned him, or at an Efterklang gig, or on that much-discussed She & Me album. For some reason his solo work hasn't gotten much coverage, something that should change with the release of his forthcoming record Home on Bella Union, Hush Records, and Efterklang's Rumraket. I've been lucky enough to have a rough version of this album in my possession for a few months now, and it's really something [...]
The Silent Ballet: Volume 8 Spring 2008 After several compilations romping through various related fields, Volume VIII returns to what this compilation series began with in Volume I, bringing the post-rock hits.
