David Thomas Broughton

David Thomas Broughton is a Leeds-based experimental folk artist known for his haunting vocals, improvisational flair, and knack for layering loops into hypnotic soundscapes. Emerging in the mid-2000s, his debut *The Complete Guide to Insufficiency* (2005) became a cult favorite, blending raw lyricism with unpredictable live energy—famously recorded in one take. His work, like the *Crippling Lack* series or *Live at the Rose Hill*, often feels like a theatrical séance, merging eerie melodies with offbeat humor and chaotic spontaneity (audiences might catch him dismantling instruments mid-set or wandering offstage). Collaborations like *David Thomas Broughton Vs. 7 Hertz* highlight his genre-defying curiosity, cementing his reputation as a shapeshifter in avant-folk circles.
