Heather Woods Broderick - From The Ground (Limited Vinyl Edition)

Heather Woods Broderick – From The Ground (Limited Vinyl Edition)

Special vinyl edition cut at Dubplates & Mastering in Berlin, includes a bonus track and a hidden locked groove, together with new artwork…

‘From the Ground’ is Heather Woods Broderick’s debut album and is as good a debut as there’s been in recent years. Built around warm, reverberating atmospheres and familiar yet striking melodies, her songs gently wrap around the listener and find magic in subtlety. Her soft voice matches the delicate neo-classical arrangements that are as light as a feather. Careful attention has been paid to the album’s understated production giving the feeling that these are lullabies pulled straight from the still morning air.

Broderick’s songs make the case that sometimes starting out somewhere simple is often better. At the core is Heather and her guitar and throughout “From the Ground” that combination is its greatest strength. Plucked and strummed chords provide the foundation from which these songs take flight. The record is populated by lyrically engaging songs and impressive instrumentals that take the listener into a world full of indian summers and pink sunset skies.

It’s inevitable that anytime “From the Ground” comes up, the fact that Heather Woods Broderick is, indeed, the older sister of everyone’s favorite ultra-talented multi-instrumentalist Peter Broderick is mentioned, but his string arrangements and production of the album cannot be overlooked. They add another layer to compositions that are already stunning further making the case that “From the Ground” is an alluring yet subtle force to be reckoned with. – Digitalis

Underexposed: Taylor Deupree – Field (Beta)
During the creation of the music that would become my album Faint I was experimenting with a kit-built plastic 35mm camera photographing in the forest outside my studio. I used the drawbacks and idiosyncracies of the camera to come up with a technique that produced very other-wordly and dreamy photographs and instantly drew the parallel [...]
