PETER BRODERICK - BLACKBERRY (Purple Vinyl) LP
Acclaimed American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Peter Broderick is set to release his new solo album Blackberry on 28th August via Erased Tapes. This is a digital surprise release with the physical release following on October 30. Blackberry is Peter's first vocal album in five years, since 2015's Colours of the Night. The entire album was recorded in Peter's bedroom in London during the summer of 2019, hence Peter's description of it as 'Experimental-Bedroom-Folk-Pop'. All instrumentation is by Peter with additional vocals on the last track by his wife, singer Brigid Mae Power, and his stepson, Seán Power. The subject matter of Blackberry is wide-ranging. He touches on family and on the connection we all need as social animals. He writes about technology and whether it will save or doom us. And of course, he writes about nature, about foraging, about the importance of engaging with the outside world in cities
