The Soulful Melancholy of Heather Woods Broderick




Soundcheck show

Summary: <p>Multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter Heather Woods Broderick’s talents have been put to use by Sharon Van Etten and Laura Gibson; and she’s been a member of Efterklang and Horse Feathers. Her latest record, <em>Invitation</em>, is a grand and mysterious adventure into quiet and dark introspection. Piano riffs anchor this baroque-folk pop, and string arrangements might reflect the swells and whispers of her new digs around the impressive coastal landscape of Oregon. Or, as <a href="http://westernvinyl.com/artists/heather-woods-broderick.php" target="_blank">Western Vinyl</a> puts it: "It's about how the stillness of such settings can unearth the disquiet often buried by the infinite distractions of a life without pause." Heather Woods Broderick joins us to play some of these songs in-studio.<em>  - Caryn Havlik</em></p> <p><em>Watch the session here: </em></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p>
