OVERVIEW:

“Home” is the remarkable Bella Union debut of Peter Broderick, a prodigiously talented and impossibly youthful musician/composer from Portland, Oregon.  Having received excellent critical acclaim (notably CD of the week in the Sunday times,) Peter is back in early February for his first headline tour, having recently finished touring with Jose Gonzalez, and with his other collaborative projects Horse Feathers and Efterklang.  

 

Born in 1987, Peter has played and toured with numerous groups in Portland and has established himself as a regular session musician for numerous recording studios, adding violin, banjo, musical saw, mandolin etc to artists such as M. Ward, Zooey Deschanel, Dolorean, and many more. As a child he studied classical violin, but over time he has collected many different instruments, learning to play them one by one.

 

In mid 2007, Peter was invited by some of his heroes, the Danish ensemble Efterklang, to move to Copenhagen and join their live band.  And so he dropped his entire life in Portland and moved across the world.  Since then, he has released a mini album of solo piano music - “Docile” - on the Swedish label Kning Disk, as well as a full length album of piano and string compositions - “Float” - on Type recordings.

 

“Home” is a record of quietly breathtaking beauty, a gentle and subtle record which reveals its magic gradually over the course of many listens. Those who spend time with this gorgeous album will come to view it like an old friend… reassuring, consoling, dependable.
