David Thomas Broughton – River Lay

David Thomas Broughton‘s new record Outbreeding (due out via Brainlove Records next week) promises a more developed and cohesive style of songwriting than he’s displayed before.

Whilst we love his offbeat, disconcerting approach to performance – utilising loops and utterly bizarre sound effects as much as his own unnerving persona – we can’t wait to hear what comes next following his prolonged hiatus from live shows.

Each track on Outbreeding has been given its own video and the opener ‘River Lay’ is accompanied by a visual feast of stop motion animation from TLOBF alumni Sonny Malhotra.

Offering up a magically compelling approach to the narrative of the song, Malhotra’s vision is as poignant, wistful and as intricately beautiful as the song itself. It’s a perfect take on Broughton’s skewed pastoral, combining the visual with the sonic in perfect, inextricable harmony.
