Film shot by One Take New York for La Blogotheque. | TOM BROSSEAU Evoking Nick Drake, Cole Porter, Billie Holiday and Woody Guthrie, Dakota's prairie-folk vanquisher Tom Brosseau sings of derelict buildings; new love; roaming: being haunted, thrilled - and killed. His high-lonesome serenades and moonlit vibrato narratives eschew formulaic song traditions for haunting, meandering, fragile psalms. Signed to Brighton's resplendent Fat Cat imprint, Brosseau's captivating album, Empty Houses are Lonely, was released to ardour last year. His acoustic, exquisite, balladry, meanwhile, is even more spine chilling - and heartbreaking - live.
