He employs modern sampling techniques in his work, more often than not using his own guitar playing, percussion, and vocals as source material. He also uses digitally enhanced field recordings, loops, and “found” instruments. Broughton’s recordings make use of in-the-moment methods, he often cuts tunes in one take no matter the end result. His debut album, The Complete Guide to Insufficiency, appeared on Birdwar via Plug research in 2005, it was met with generally positive reviews by the press, recorded at a church in Leeds, the set contained five long pieces that displayed all of his aforementioned production idiosyncrasies. The album was followed in 2006 by the much more modestly recorded Anchovies EP, and in 2007 by the It’s in There Somewhere album. His first full-length collaboration, David Thomas Brought vs. 7 Hertz, also appeared that year. Broughton toured the U.K. and Europe relentlessly, and in 2010 released the Boating Disasters EP on Static Caravan, His touring continued throughout the year, though he found time to begin recording his sophomore album, Outbreeding, which was finished in early 2011 and released in early 2011 and released in June by Golden Lab. After living in North Korea and working for the UN, he moved to Seoul, South Korea, where he worked for an organization that conserved the habitats of migratory water birds. His second collaborative effort, this one with the Juice Vocal Ensemble and titled Sliding the Same Way was issued in the early fall of 2014 by Edinburgh, Scotland’s Song by Toad label. It proved the most overtly “folk” album in his catalogue. Throughout his travels and as he released other recordings, Broughton had been working on an expansive work in pieces from 2012 on. With a host of collaborators who included Beth Orton and Sam Amidon, he recorded various musical parts in France, the U.K. and the United States. Tiled Crippling Lack, its theme was strongly informed by the number three. To honour this strategy, Broughton recorded a 12-song, 140-minute triple LP, and convinced three different labels to issue one part apiece on three different dates. Crippling Lack, Vol. 1 was released through Song by Toad in April 2016, Vol 2 by Frances LeNoizeMaker in May, and Vol. 3 by Brooklyn’s paper Garden Records in June “The most brilliant and baffling show I'm likely to see this year.” - Timeout NY “Straddling the line between music hall turn and avant-garde performance artist, Broughton’s live show is not to be missed.” - MOJO magazine https://www.facebook.com/davidthomasbroughton ADAM Ross (RANDOLPH’S LEAP) Randolph's Leap make pop music for unpopular people….Adam doing it solo http://www.randolphsleap.co.uk
