...according to our Clinton on 27 November 2006.

First up a great 10" by David Thomas Broughton  - a Leeds resident who has been wowing audiences for some time with his gentle folk sounds and dark brooding voice. This record is simply superb. It has a timeless feel  - as if it could have been made any time over the past 100 years. I've been struggling to describe his voice for some time now but I realised yesterday that it isn't at all disimilar to Anthony from Anthony and The Johnsons. There's the same soulful quivering that sends Fats ears into paralysis. The music though sounds like distant folk music played in faraway fields. There's 3 tracks on here but its the final one  'Liberazione' that really caught our ear. Its a 50's doo-wop thing with Broughton layering his voice over and over  using  his special machine. It really is startlingly original. As Brian says  - think of a barbershop Anthony and the Johnsons. Purchase is essential. On Golden Lab Records.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Approaching David Broughton to ask him to put out a record was one of the most nerve-wracking things ever for us. Our reverence for this lad’s whole steez - his bizarre use of non-instruments, weird loops and soaring, spectral, blues-laden voice - made it almost impossible to talk to him. But we’re so glad we’re did every time we listen to these three exquisite tracks. The title track, running in at nine minutes, is a guitar-backed lament on monotony. On the b-side, we find a comical a capella about suicide and an a capella doo wop love song. Amazing. Really amazing.
