Portland-based folk man Peter Broderick has let fly the first details of his new solo EP, ‘(Colours Of The Night) Satellite’. His first ‘song-based’ (which I think means ‘traditional’) release in two years, it is inspired by Peter’s recent experience with a debilitating illness, one that meant he had to scale back his writing and playing and move from his then-home in Berlin to Oregon.

Now ‘back on track’, a rehabilitated PB says that the EP was born of his mood at the time of his illness, explaining: “one of the record’s main themes is how bad stuff can have a rejuvenating effect”. He adds: “Night time is so monochromatic, but actually there are all these different shades of grey. I’ve often explored melancholic moods before, but this time I wanted a balance of darkness and light. I wouldn’t feel so happy now without the struggle”.

Recorded in the main in Lucerne, Switzerland (alongside a forthcoming LP that’s coming forth in Spring 2015), the five-track EP will be released on 13 Oct.

And this is its gently light-and-shade-dappled title track:
