Bleep

A busy man like multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Peter Broderick really deserves a holiday. Blackberry almost sounds like his idea of one. Notably separate from his storied catalogue in sort-of-modern-classical, this LP sees Broderick singing for the first time in five years with a chipper pop song in his heart. ‘Stop and Listen’ is a jaunty folk sing-along, complete with carefree mouth-trumpet sounds, while alt-country wanderings like ‘But’ and ‘Wild Food’ recall Arthur Russell’s blissfully infectious pastoralism.
