UnAbleTo by David Thomas Broughton
'UnAbleTo', David Thomas Broughton's first effort since 2011's Outbreeding, blends his distinctively rich baritone and folk sensibilities with cut up dance beats and harsh noise loops, making an album completely different from anything that's come before.
A jumble of electronic samples, feedback mishaps and manipulations, mixed with folk songs. All played into the pin mic of a Macbook, colliding on Ableton Live in haphazard and randomised arrangements. A study in seeing what happens. Loops phase, falling in and falling out, locking into ambient sprawl or cutting into manipulated noise.
The lush and strange first single is "Problems", which is as much folk-pop genius as it is a propaganda piece for a new - as yet, unknown and undefined - type of faith. http://youtu.be/bRsAfPjdg4E
In the physical realm, UnAbleTo is limited to 100 hand-numbered cassette tapes, while also existing perpetually in the digital realm, here provided as two tracks of side A (Untitled 280710, Untitled 3, Salvation, Soil of War, Problems, Faith in Women) and side B (Take the Edge Off, Martha, Rather Forgive).
