     Equal parts Devendra and Daniel Johnston, David Thomas
     Broughton makes delicately fragranced music that is both
     overtly fragile and inwardly strong - drawing the ear deep
     within the compositions then keeping you tethered through
     emotional intensity. Best viewed as an anthology of recordings
     spanning the past six years, 'It's In There Somewhere' sees
     Broughton exploring the same themes which have coloured his
     recent work - with ideas of loss, love and hope all bundled up
     in a tender package that veritably hums with the weight of
     emotional tension throughout. Whilst always erring on the side
     of melancholy, Broughton never becomes moribund - instead
     evoking comparisons to Elliot Smith in his ability to
     articulate heartbreak and lost dreams in a fashion that
     demands you go on that journey with him. Possessing an
     atmosphere that could either be high noon, or humid evening,
     'It's In There Somewhere' opens through the waltzing rhythms
     of 'Circle Is Never Complete' - wherein The Stranglers 'Golden
     Brown' is hinted at through undulating synths that could be
     straight from a Vangelis love scene. Immediately juxtaposing
     this is 'Negativity' and its frenzied strings, before
     'Gracefully Silent' sidles into view with tape effects galore
     for some warped folk music that works as well backwards as it
     does facing forward. Elsewhere, 'Ain't Got No Sole' brings to
     mind Arthur Russell, 'So Much Sin To Forgive' is overflowing
     with twanging guitars, whilst 'Look What I Have Done' is a
     gorgeous conclusion of diffused atmospherics that swan-dives
     the record into merry oblivion.
