Our Take

EDGAR BROUGHTON's latest album, "Break The Dark," is a sonic rollercoaster that takes listeners on a wild ride through psychedelic rock, blues, and punk influences. From the moment you hit play, you're catapulted into a swirling vortex of distorted guitars, throbbing basslines, and howling vocals that shake you to your core.

The album kicks off with the electrifying track "Break The Dark," a fierce onslaught of raw energy that sets the tone for what's to come. With its gritty riffs and haunting lyrics, it's a masterclass in how to craft a rock anthem that sticks with you long after the music fades.

Tracks like "Silver Spurs" and "Teen Twin" showcase EDGAR BROUGHTON's versatility as a band, seamlessly blending heavy rock with melodic hooks and introspective lyrics. Each song feels like a journey in itself, with unexpected twists and turns that keep you on your toes throughout.

But it's not all high-octane rockers on "Break The Dark." The band also knows how to dial it back, delivering more introspective moments like the haunting ballad "Ghost Light" and the stripped-back acoustic number "Moon In Daylight." These quieter moments provide a nice contrast to the album's more bombastic tracks, showing off EDGAR BROUGHTON's range as musicians.

In the end, "Break The Dark" is a wild, unpredictable ride that never fails to surprise and delight. EDGAR BROUGHTON have crafted an album that's equal parts raw and refined, a testament to their enduring talent and creativity. Dive in and let yourself be swept away by the chaos - you won't regret it.

About the artist

Edgar Broughton

Edgar Broughton is a true musical chameleon, constantly evolving and pushing the boundaries of rock and roll. Hailing from Warwick, England, Broughton burst onto the scene in the late 1960s with his band The Edgar Broughton Band, whose raw and raucous sound quickly gained them a cult following. With his gritty vocals and blistering guitar work, Broughton became known for his electrifying live performances and politically charged lyrics. His early albums, such as "Wasa Wasa" and "Sing Brother Sing," are considered classics of the psychedelic rock genre, showcasing Broughton's unique blend of blues, folk, and acid rock. In the 1970s, Broughton took a more experimental approach to his music, incorporating elements of jazz, funk, and even punk into his sound. Albums like "Oora" and "Bandages" saw Broughton pushing the boundaries of rock music and defying categorization. Despite never achieving commercial success on the level of his contemporaries, Broughton has remained a cult figure in the music world, admired for his uncompromising vision and fearless creativity. His influence can be heard in the work of countless artists, from punk pioneers like The Clash to modern indie rockers like Ty Segall. With his latest album, "Resurrecting the Rebel," Broughton proves that he still has plenty to say and isn't afraid to say it loud. At 73 years old, he continues to defy expectations and inspire audiences with his passion and energy. Edgar Broughton is a true rock and roll survivor, and his music remains as vital and relevant as ever.
