Peter Broderick is a musician / composer currently residing in Berlin, Germany, where he is recording a new album. He also plays violin in the Danish Efterklang live band. He has recorded and/or toured with several groups/musicians (Horse Feathers, M. Ward, She & Him, Norfolk & Western, Laura Gibson, etc.), and is a regular session musician at various recording studios. His solo work is quite varied, but is often grounded by piano and/or strings.

What sets him apart is his restraint. With an arsenal of talents at his disposal, he prefers to reveal only one or two at a time. No wonder his latest work found a home with Erased Tapes…

Born January 20, 1987, he grew up in a small town Portland in Oregon. Coming from a musical family, he started violin lessons at age 7, and in high school became interested in all different kinds of instruments. He started to play piano, guitar, banjo, mandolin, musical saw, and anything else he could find. After high school he moved to Portland, OR, where he studied music theory and filmmaking. During this time he began to play in multiple bands around town, and was able to establish himself as a regular session musician at various recording studios for artists like M. Ward.

In late 2007 he was miraculously invited by some of his musical heroes, the Danish band Efterklang, to move to Copenhagen and join the live band. So he did, and since then he has toured with the band all around the world, playing hundreds of concerts, and opening many of them as a solo act.

I wish Bella Union would stop this money-grabbing "re-release with extra disc" policy... I already bought the 1 disc version, and it's only a year old! Why not release the 2nd disc on it's own for fans who already have the original album? I'll probably end up buying it anyway... Just to be a completist.
