❏這是我今年看到的最具才華且神秘莫測的演出現場——全球城市生活雜誌 Timeout NY
❏首次演出便才華盡顯,讓他幾近成為奇幻民謠的先驅——獨立音樂網站 Pitchfork
❏跨越了音樂廳與前衛藝術表演的界限,他的現場不容錯過—— 英國著名音樂雜誌 MOJO
他像一個謎,人們對他的演出印象深刻,評價頗高,可談起他時又總覺得難以描述……
英倫的觀眾說他像音樂界的梵谷,他在約克郡長大,如今工作並居住在首爾,他的巡演足跡遍布英國本土、歐洲大陸、北美、日本、韓國……在音樂之外他還有一個特別的愛好:觀察鳥類,並把它們的一舉一動用畫筆生動的呈現出來,他是媒體和樂迷口中的英倫民謠怪才David Thomas Broughton.
這個夏天,新近成立的 #感官唱片# 將邀請David來到中國,為樂迷們呈現一場緩慢燃燒的英倫奇幻民謠之旅~
David Thomas Broughton is quite the enigma. Somewhat a man of mystery that we know was brought up in Yorkshire and currently resides in Seoul. Since David's first few shows in his native Yorkshire in the early 2000s, he has performed at numerous festivals, toured extensively across the UK, Europe, USA and played a handful of shows in Japan, Korea and China. His talents stretch far beyond music, not only does he enjoy birdwatching but he is also rather good at drawing them, as demonstrated by his impressive display of artwork.
循序漸進的旋律,奇怪華麗的人聲,吉他、效果器和鼓機的搭配。David Thomas Broughton的演出更像是藝術品的展示……他的音樂創作中充斥著謎團,他的體內仿佛存在兩種人格,一種創作出純真而美妙的旋律,另一種卻不惜代價地去阻止這種美妙的發生,我們猜想他奇異的民謠風格也正是來源於此,一面是民謠的根基,另一面卻充滿實驗性。
Musically he is capable of writing folk songs of pure beauty, but then there is another side to him that likes to restrain himself from this, this is his experimental side.
在David的現場你應該時刻保持著對意料之外的期待,也許是突然用Loop Station不斷循環自己的聲音,用吉他和磁帶機製造嗡嗡作響的回授,又或是跳舞、爬行,甚至在舞臺上與香蕉對話。他的現場充滿了不確定性,以至於每一場都無法重現,如果你足夠耐心,你定會在某個瞬間理解他的音樂和他所表達的一切,並深深為之所吸引。
When David performs live you should always expect the unexpected. He might at any point decide to loop his voice endlessly or use a tape machine to create feedback over his guitar. It’s this unpredictability that makes his live shows all the more memorable.
The Complete Guide to Insufficency
2004年,David發布了他的首張錄音室專輯The Complete Guide to Insufficency,這張專輯廣受好評,在口味刁鑽且苛刻的獨立音樂網站Pitchfork上更是獲得8.4分的極高評價。十多年來,David依然充滿熱情地用他交織著美麗與不安的創作方式繼續著他的音樂,並陸續發布了許多個人作品,他還與爵士民謠四重唱團體7Hertz,Stereolab製作人Andy Ramsey,3人合唱團體Juice共同創作了許多歌曲,在他最新的專輯Crippling Lack中他同樣也邀請到Aidan Moffat等藝術家共同參與創作。
Over 10 years since his critically acclaimed 2004 debut The Complete Guide to Insufficency, which garnered an 8.4 review on Pitchfork, David has continued to produce records which delightfully interweave layers of beauty and discomfort.Releases include numerous solo home-recorded works and collaborative work with jazz-folk chamber quartet 7Hertz, producer Andy Ramsey (Stereolab), classical vocal trio Juice, and a number of guests on his latest 'magnum opus' Crippling Lack.
2015年導演Greg Butler拍攝了一部關於David Thomas Broughton的紀錄片The Ambiguity of David Thomas Broughton ,記錄片展示了這位英國最為神秘的音樂人和表演者的創作歷程。在此次中國巡演的過程中,你可以在演出開始前到達場地來觀看這部紀錄片,相信你會對David和他的奇幻民謠有更深入的了解。英國衛報 曾這樣評價這部紀錄片:「紀錄片深刻的解析了Daivd Thomas Broughton身上的隱秘氣質並展現出他所具有的獨特魅力,這是這位神秘的英倫民謠怪才的自畫像 」。
