In anticipation of the big co-headlining show for Loch Lomond this week, we thought we’d link to the hiqh quality download of “Blue Lead Fence(s)” offered via the taste-making RCRD LBL blog (albeit few weeks ago). This is a track off the as yet untitled new album, which was recently given a video treatment by photographer Alicia Rose.

If you’ve been following this space, you know that Podington Bear was recently ‘unmasked’ as Chad Crouch, the owner/worker of HUSH records. Just before finishing his campaign of 156 songs as Podington Bear, he began working on another batch of music that was intentionally different: short, simple, atmospheric, moody instrumentals …. These compositions were intended to be “scores to single-frame films”. That is to say, Crouch’s photographs. Have a look at soundofpicture.com (click ‘pop-up player’ there for a quick dose).And try before you probably don’t buy (it’s offered free/value?) by subscribing to the podcast, or listening to this here sampler:
Sound Of Picture Vol 1 collects the first 20 compositions (with their corresponding photos embedded as album art). A soothing and evocative accompaniment for a misty autumn drive/walk/ride/sit.
But that’s not all! Now you can submit your own picture to be immortalized in sound. Send Flickr links, Picasa links or attached jpegs (3mb or less) to soundofpic [at] gmail.com for consideration. If chosen your picture will be translated to sound free of charge, and shared with all who care to listen.
Fresh of the vine, we have this ensemble production featuring the talents of a motley crew of folk, fauna, and one zany marionette.

Peter Broderick woke up last Sunday to find his latest album Home praised in the pages of the Sunday London Times. 5 out of 5 stars:
“Home has grown and grown on me, sitting in the CD player, refusing to be moved, demanding to be played again and again. This is a magical album. In reality, home for Peter Broderick is Portland, Oregon, but he hasn’t been living there. He was summoned to Denmark by the wondrous Efterklang, and has recently been touring with them. On Home, Broderick reveals not just his musical talent, but an unusual level of restraint. All we have here is voice and guitar. No needless virtuosity; no clever sonic treatments; no unusual instruments.” – Mike Edwards
Peter was also recently featured on NPR’s Second Stage with no less lavish praise:
“Home, takes Broderick’s music in a new direction. He’s given up the piano and violin on Float for soothing acoustic guitar and ethereal folk melodies. Though there are many highlights on Home, one of the most notable is its second track, “And It’s Alright.” Broderick’s reassuring repetition of the song’s title, while backed by organ and lightly rattling percussion, makes it the sort of tune ideal for unwinding after a particularly stressful day. Actually, all of Home emits a delicate and calm mood, from its opener, “Games,” all the way to the revisited version, “Games Again,” that closes this masterful release. If this is what Broderick is capable of accomplishing at the age of 21, one can only imagine what’s in store. Based on Home, it’s bound to be lovely.” – Robin Hilton
Peter plays a special show Nov 2nd at London’s Union Chapel.
