Broken Records - Let Me Come Home

Review by Robert Cooke

It all feels as though Broken Records weren’t quite sure what they wanted to do so stuck firmly in the middle of the road. »

'let me come home' is the new studio album by scotland's broken records. the follow-up to 2009's debut 'until the earth begins to part', 'let me come home' started out as a series of sketches and song fragments in frontman jamie sutherland's kitchen, later taking form in demo sessions at an old distillery grain store in the scottish highlands. recorded and produced by tony doogan (mogwai, delgados, belle and sebastian) with artwork conceived by vaughan oliver
at v23. the album has the widescreen emptiness of films badlands, rumble fish and east of
eden, as well as records such as bruce springsteen's 'nebraska', nick cave's 'murder ballads', calexico's 'feast of wire', and rem's early back catalogue.
