Please Play With Me
Peter Broderick - Games Again.
Sometimes when you're in a drought, you have to borrow your rain from someone else. Luckily for us folks in the southland, Portland has always got plenty of drizzle to spare. This is the sound of that first whiff of warm wet pavement, the gentle snap of the leaves in the trees, the cool damp air. It's the sound of small changes of the subtle seasons. It's asking for something already knowing the negative answer.
Those of you playing along at home may know Peter Broderick from his work as one half of Portland's Horse Feathers. Along with Justin Ringle that band makes delicate, powerful folk music. Here, on his own, he travels similar paths but with slightly more air dusted into the melodies.
At any rate, it's a beautiful, slow album, perfect for the quiet fall we could probably all use right now. You can pick up the new album, Home, from our friends over at Hush Records.
