“Ain’t Got No Sole” Video Available Now:

Ain’t Got No Sole from BROWN BREAD FILMS on Vimeo.

London-based, Otley-born solo artist David Thomas Broughton will tour his long-awaited new album, entitled “Outbreeding”, this coming May.
Broughton’s famous semi-improvised live show baffles and beguiles; starting songs with beautiful refrains, he engulfs them in feedback and noise, removing the layers one by one to reveal once again the beauty beneath. Elements of physical comedy, bouts of beat boxing, Elvis-impersonating dance moves and surreal tics and pauses further complicate things. As seen at festivals such as Primavera, End Of The Road, SXSW and Green Man, Broughton is an artist that thrives on the stage.

“Outbreeding” is at once raw, honest, playful and poignant, leaving the listener unsure of whether to laugh or weep – the exact kind of divergent response that has made David Thomas Broughton inspire such devotion in his fans and followers. For DTB converts, “Outbreeding” is essential listening; for the uninitiated it’s the perfect entry point into his magical body of work.

There has also been a video made for every track in the album. The first is on the Brainlove site and was announced by NME last week; the second was announced via MOJO earlier today. They’ll be appearing with regularity throughout May
