Hidden behind a veil of secrecy and poignant vapour, New York City-based ambient outfit broom make music that’s truly expressive and hypnotic. We are big fans of it; it’s clear that they are not doing it for the fame, not for the money. Not even for love, for that matters. They are doing it for the escapism, for an ethereal fragment of nothingness amidst an overly gloomy world. For a short, yet intense and ephemeral break from reality. It seems to be working: that’s exactly the effect that ‘and it was good’ had on us. A moment of evocative stillness that we won’t be forgetting anytime soon.
From a sonic standpoint, broom find their aural universe among modulating synthetisers, shimmering guitars and cinematic soundscapes, often with a decadent, meditative character. What more could you want? Describing themselves as “Kyle & Dan & Seb”, broom deserve your attention.
