Peter Broderick
Home

The young Broderick knows what he's doing. First, he showcased his skills by collaborating with Efterklang, then he accepted the invitation from Kning Disk to create a fully piano-based CD ("Docile"), and finally, he decided to embark on a solo career amidst the soft notes of a neoclassicism intertwined with ambient and acoustic sounds.

The quality of his music, coupled with the excellent reviews received from the specialized press, allowed Peter to release two albums in 2008 alone. "Float" was published first, followed by "Home".

In Broderick's second true solo effort, one finds the same intimate and delicate spirit that had attracted so much attention in his earlier releases. However, compared to the past, "Home" brings a new element: shedding some of the "fear" shards due to inexperience, young Peter decides to use his voice to support the music: a choice he had never made before, except in "Another glacier" alone. This new facet of the Danish-origin artist comes strongly to the fore in "Home", giving the impression that Broderick feels at ease even amidst singer-songwriter nuances of modern American extraction.

This new aspect shines particularly in "And it's alright", a delicate composition well guided by the acoustic guitar. Broderick indeed favors the acoustic component to outline his new musical dreams: "Below it" and "Not at home" are enjoyable and simple to listen to, further highlighting the choice of building the foundations of "Home" on the pillars of a singer-songwriter. The piano/ambient mist of "Float" fades away amidst the tender notes of the six-string: in this further evolution, Broderick demonstrates he can manage a "songwriting" that remains very intimate and free of significant crescendos. However, intact is the versatility and enjoyment of the tracks created to be easily absorbed: no excessive intellectualism, no sound complications. Just music and mist for an album and above all, an artist destined to grow over time.
