I’m ecstatic to see the return of David Thomas Broughton. I first stumbled across David, mid performance, late one night at the End Of The Road Festival. I had never seen anything like it before, or since come to think of it. David is a compelling performer, building layers of live  guitar and vocal loops, and subtly adding sounds from the on-stage equipment, or things left lying around. On that first night in a tent in Dorset, he left the stage through a gap in the side – I thought the show was over and turned to leave – only to find DTB heading back towards me, diving back on stage and creating even more sonic wonderfulness. A truly unique and talented artist, his new record, Outbreeding blends the looped elements of his live show with perfectly composed song structures and wry, witty storytelling.  A real understated genius.
