ALBUM REVIEW: Peter Broderick | http://www.itstartshear.com

written by Chris Familton Merging the experimental and avant-garde with more traditional song form is a skill that few musicians manage to pull off successfully. Peter Broderick is one who has proven he can straddle the conceptual fence with his forays into classical composition, soundtracks, traditional folk and contemporary indie guitar-based music.

LISTEN: to Hey Jane from Spiritualized [NEW]

J Spaceman drops the first track from the new album Sweet Heart Sweet Light that is due out on April 17th.

LISTEN: To the new track from Torche…

Torche (Miami/Atlanta) have slowly but surely evolved from their sludge metal origins to incorporate stronger rock and pop aesthetics and from the sound of the monstrous new single Kicking it feels like it’ll be reaching its apex on the new album Harmonicraft, due out April 24th via Volcom.
