David Thomas Broughton Vs 7 Hertz: 'S/T' (Acuarela) This five track CD is the sound of five musicians jamming around some loosely discussed ideas, recorded and mixed in a church in Leeds, West Yorkshire. For those unfamiliar, DTB is a Northern folky singer-songwriter acclaimed for his live improvised sets that combines his vocals with the live looping of instruments and found incidental sounds. 7 Hertz meanwhile are a collective of grassroots players on the Leeds DIY scene who play violins,clarinets and double bass. This meeting captures the warm and serious sound of people clearly in love with what they do. The highlight of this set is Broughton's lyric whereupon he discusses the idea of not being able to afford the price of a pasty from a famous highstreet bakery chain. For fans of down at home folk, somewhat sombre in mood but looselimbed as you'd expect from a live jam.

What the label says:

(5 tracks/ 61 minutes) David Thomas Broughton’s talent has garnered praise with the passing years. This doesn’t come as a surprise. The way Broughton merges endless processed guitar loops with his own and very personal voice –something between Odetta and Tim Buckley- throws light upon a unique sound. After astonishing audiences at the most recent edition of fave Spanish festivals Primavera Sound or Tanned Tin, Acuarela introduces an exclusive mini-album that the English musician has recorded with Leeds experimental group 7 Hertz. Layer after layer of sound, David Thomas Broughton has defined himself as a name to keep in mind, song after song, test after test. Challenging the limits of his own music, this Leeds singer songwriter has toyed at stretching a singular discourse bound to the well-worn parameters of folk and electronics, combining influences and just by following intuition and taste, enveloping it all with a warm and velvet voice. 7 Hertz are a Leeds band dedicated to improvisation within a strange mixture of folk, classical, jazz and any other label that you can slap the term free on. David and the band hardly had time to greet each other before embarking on a recording session in a cold church in Leeds on a winter afternoon (a scene much like the one Broughton’s first record was drawn in). Every song would enjoy only one take, so there would never be any previous rehearsals between the parties involved.
