Peter Broderick is a touring member of the band Efterklang and a session musician with a number of other bands. Home was released in 2008 and is partly instrumental and full of multi-layered soothing vocals and acoustic guitar.
Home has a similar feel to Bon Iver's 'For Emma, Forever Ago' which came out last year to critical acclaim and unfortunately is living in its shadow. Home is just as good as 'For Emma..' but isn't as recognized. It is almost as if there was only room for one cd by a singer-songwriter who plays delicate music and Bon Iver got there before Peter Broderick.
Home is enjoyable on first listen but it really grew on me with each subsequent listen. My favourite track is ' Below it' with the lines 'with his fingers he would push and with his fingers he would pull..to come back up.' and its lovely guitar playing. 'With the notes in my ears' is another beautiful song with gorgeous lyrics, heavenly vocals and fingerpicking guitar accompaniment.
Give Home some space in your Home or take your loved one to see him on Valentine's Day at the brilliant Union Chapel.
