Heavy Thoughts - @dtbroughton | out on 4 September

Twenty years after his debut, ‘The Complete Guide to Insufficiency’, David Thomas Broughton continues to craft music that intertwines beauty and discomfort, spanning solo projects and diverse collaborations. His discography includes 2007’s one-take album with jazz-folk quartet 7 Hertz, 2010’s ‘Outbreeding’ produced by Andy Ramsey (Stereolab), the feedback-laced ‘UnAbleTocassette’ from 2013, and 2014’s ‘Sliding The Same Way’ with vocal trio Juice. In 2016, he collaborated remotely with various artists on ‘Crippling Lack’.

His new album ‘Heavy Thoughts’ is an improvised trio recording with pianist Matthew Bourne and drummer Neil Turpin. This Leeds-rooted trio pull together to create unpredictable performances that move fluidly between song and abstraction. Neil & Matt perform improvising explorations around David’s snippets of words and guitar. In turn, David responds to Matt and Neil, building and dismantling loops that can be subtle, often harmonious, sometimes obtuse.

We’re delighted to announce the release of ‘Heavy Thoughts’ on limited first pressing of 300 colour vinyl on David’s new label imprint TOMO/OTO. Hard-to-find back catalogue also now available.

CONTRY ARTIST WHO LOVED CANALS. I’m pretty sure things have turned out better than this already. Old exercise book circa 9 years old. Just the kind of morbid task Mr Outersides would set us! .

Hello everyone 🐚,

Just a little note to let you know that the wonderful David Thomas Broughton will be coming to Dublin on Wednesday 9th September to play a special Young Hearts concert at Cleary’s (@clearysd1). The last time he played for us was in 2019, so we have to catch him while we can! His forthcoming record Heavy Thoughts (TOMO/OTO) will be released on 4th September, so it feels special to get to hear it live a few days later. Tickets available (a few early bird ones left) through Eventbrite and the little ticket link above. He really is one of a kind and one of the best, so hopefully many of you can make it along. Thanks to Simon at Cleary’s for the support and the peerless Niall McCormack (@hitoneie) for the beautiful artwork (as always). Please do spread the word if you can 🗣️👩🏻‍💻.

Supporting the Simon Community 🪄.
