The immensely talented David Thomas Broughton teams up with woodwind and string ensemble 7 Hertz for this excellent collaboration, recorded in St, Mark's Church in Leeds. Apparently no fixed songs were brought to the table, instead the musicians just feel their way around. This is no improv black hole though: genuinely excellent compositions come out of the experiment, with Broughton thankfully curbing the use of his once quite novel loop pedal (frankly KT Tunstall owns that technique, so back off) and instead placing more emphasis on naturally evolving songwriting. 'Weight Of My Love' features some of the gloomiest lyrics you're likely to hear this side of a Nick Cave murder ballad, intertwining lines about death lurking on the horizon with references to pasties from Gregg's bakeries. And it isn't even remotely comical. I actually feel terrible that the guy in the song can't afford the baked goods he craves. It's a real heartbreaker. Sombre, staccato strings chop in and out while Broughton's ghoulish vocal timbres stab at you, and so the tone for this maudlin yet tremendously rewarding album is set. Superb.
