David Thomas Broughton
We met David on the eve of his mind blowing show at the Deaf Institute. We cannot condone going to a poorly lit park with David Thomas Broughton, but would recommend it highly.

About
David Thomas Broughton
Wednesday, March 10th, 2010, 4:35 pmDavid Thomas Broughton’s off-kilter folk is all about the slow-burn; coaxing melodies and oddly gorgeous vocals from a shuffling music box of acoustic guitars, looping pedals and bargain-bin drum machines. The result is (predictably) tooth-achingly gorgeous. He has been unceremoniously dumped into the ‘freak-folk’ enclosure and in doing so shows up the meagre offerings traditionally proffered under this soft-centered appellation. Taking handsome dollops of Nick Drake, John Fahey and Antony and the Johnsons, Broughton’s quixotic touch is writ large above all his compositions.
