Heather Woods Broderick is set to release her first solo outing in six years, Glider, in July. The Portland based singer/songwriter has been plying her trade for over a decade as a solo artist and with the likes of Efterklang and Horse Feathers as well as more recently being an integral part of Sharon van Etten’s touring troupe. Despite the six year absence in a solo sense since the release of 2009’s From The Ground the constant touring, restlessness and absence from a concrete home base has informed the brooding yet hopeful nature contained in the two tracks released from Glider thus far, the sprawling wonder of the cinematic and slow building, ‘A Call For Distance’ and the measured simplicity of ‘Wyoming’, which is now accompanied by a video. Despite it being named after a landlocked US state, the video sees Woods Broderick alone on what supposedly is the Pacific coast, reflecting the yearning nature of the track. Glider is out through Western Vinyl on July 10. On the immense strength of the two tracks below, we definitely look forward to hearing what the rest of the record has in store. Pre-order on vinyl here. Woods Broderick begins a supporting tour with Jesse Marchant next Wednesday in Portland. Dates at her website below.
