'posthumous success,' tom brosseau's first new album of studio material in two years and his third fatcat full length release, is conceptual, modern, playful, sometimes fun, dark, revealing. the album could be a set of stories or books on one's shelf: the opening and closing tracks, 'favourite colour blue' - the same song - not the device of reprise, rather equal opposites or bookends. tom evokes the simultaneous poignant darkness and simple resignation of pre-war north america with all the authenticity of a first-hand witness, but the songwriting is indelibly imbued with youth. we have - in this album - tom's fullest record to date: an enchanting sabbatical from the predominantly vocal and guitar / all-acoustic recordings of previous records and a compelling nod to a more immediate musical environment (see; the drone-influenced 'boothill'; the low-fi fuzz of 'you don't know my friends', even tom's lou reed-like vocal delivery in 'drumroll'). the depth of 'posthumous success' lies in its fullness, the richness and breadth of its sonic textures and songwriting eloquence. tom's voice and guitar, formerly the driving instrumentation of his songs, are now parts of multifarious arrangements featuring drums, guitars and bass, performed by, among other guest musicians, mice parade's adam pierce and small sails' ethan rose. the songs themselves are refined, embellished, expanded and orchestrated by a confident harmonic structure that very naturally extends itself from the smaller scale of tom's past works without ever confining the pure spirit of north american blues that finances the immeasurable emotional impact of his songs. on fat cat.
