WORDS ON THE SHOWS...
"More sound technician meets musician, a DTB live show seems more like carefully choreographed magic than music. Pottering around the stage, building up layers of sounds and recording samples on the fly, you almost can't believe that it’s happening. By the time he had recorded his own backing choir and was carefully singing over the top, the entire audience are silent and unmoving. My jaw actually dropped" - Sandman Magazine, Leeds, w/ Castanets and Jana Hunter
"One long improv set, no breaks, involving holding carrots up to the microphone at one point, keeping several hundred people transfixed and getting the second biggest cheer I heard the whole weekend at the end of it" - cartilage.livejournal blog, Live at the End of The Road Festival
WORDS ON THE SONG 'LIBERAZIONE'...
"A five minute song of David Thomas Broughton just tunelessly crooning probably wouldn't up it into the eschelon of 'great acapella renditions'. But somehow he fills this song with a full band, slinking casually through a soulful song, moans echoing across the backdrop. Recordings of Broughton's voice as every member and instrument in the band make it not only novel, but still a truly powerful song. The singular voice, reciprocated ten times over, carries a weight and a sentiment stronger than one person should be able to. As Broughton relates himself as the cold ground, and accuses you of being the cold rain that can never quite mesh, the song disintegrates quickly in a slow flurry of glitches and studders. As it abruptly comes to a rest, five minutes wasn't long enough" - Mountainousmountains.blogspot
