Never let it be said that Peter Broderick engaged in false
advertising with the title of his 2009 album. (In that regard he's
following perfectly in line with PJ Harvey, oddly enough.)
Compiling a variety of skeletal arrangements, found-sound
experiments, and other examples of general contemplation, 4 Track
Songs is on the one hand a familiar experience -- the artist in
solitude seeing what might work for his own benefit -- and on the
other a fine showcase for Broderick's general abilities. Instead of
simply producing a fuzzy recording of acoustic guitars and
half-heard lyrics, Broderick uses a variety of instruments
throughout, resulting in pieces ranging from exultant piano/string
performances to distant rainfall to steady slow-burn funk to
backwoods banjo mood music to much more besides. Wry, descriptive
wit determines a number of the song titles -- "Shortened Version
(Mistake)," "More of a Composition," "A Simple String Duet," "A Low
End Rumble" -- and further creates a sense of a sketchbook come to
life. As a whole listening experience, it grows richer over its
length, feeling very much like a soundtrack to a film in the same
way as his other projects have been, a story that flows together in
an unexpected fashion. ~ Ned Raggett
