TOM BROSSEAU is a natural songwriting talent, coming from such disparate influences as NICK DRAKE, COLE PORTER, and WOODY GUTHRIE. On 'Empty Houses Are Lonely' he sings songs of lost love and poetic observation that shimmer like aural tintypes. Ostensibly a collection of highlights from his recorded history to date augmented by several new recordings, this album works as a fine introduction to Tom's plaintive, eloquent, timeless music. The ingredient in this mix that will flat out give you chills is Brosseau's voice, which sounds eerily like a high-lonesome reincarnation of JEFF BUCKLEY. High, limber and sometimes vibrato-tinged, it seems to hover between the masculine and feminine. He can be hauntingly moody and atmospheric, and avoids the typical garden-variety verse-chorus -bridge song structures in his writing. Tom Brosseau is on to something new by way of something old - deep, heartbreaking, and entirely worth hearing.
