First release via Forte on the Third Man Records label, see news for more info, but we're pretty excited about this, has to be said. The mysterious goth milquetoast "mildred" appeared before jack white at a hardware store In kentucky. She had no demo to give, nor guitar with her, so instead she sang her song "I like my mice (dead)" at the top of her lungs in front of several hardware store customers before quickly walking out Of the store in shy earnest. Mr. white immediately followed her to the sidewalk and signed her to a third man single contract. She hails from the mammoth cave area, but hasn't given the staff an age, or current address! (don't worry we'll be holding her royalty checks here for her.) In fact her mother dropped her off at third man studio for the single session and waited patiently In a winnebago outside the studio until mildred was done recording. Mildred showed up with a very Cool gretsch princess guitar but called it a "gitch". Her band the mice were even Less forth coming than she was, asking only for a copy of the record when it was done. Luckily We were able to snap a few shots of them at the third man headquarters before they headed back to kentucky. The two songs available now are nothing short of remarkable, and were recorded live to 8 track in one take. Jack white has given this recording the special third man catalog number of #003 stating; "this is exactly the kind of record we want to put out."

Details

Born January 20, 1987, he grew up in a small town in Oregon. Coming from a musical family, he started violin lessons at age 7, and in high school became interested in all different kinds of instruments. He started to play piano, guitar, banjo, mandolin, musical saw, and anything else he could find. After high school he moved to Portland, OR, where he studied music theory and filmmaking. During this time he began to play in multiple bands around town, and was able to establish himself as a regular session musician at various recording studios for artists like M. Ward. In late 2007 he was miraculously invited by some of his musical heroes, the Danish band Efterklang, to move to Copenhagen and join the live band. So he did, and since then he has toured with the band all around the world, playing hundreds of concerts, and opening many of them as a solo act. Since this move he has released several solo recordings as well. Starting with a few primarily instrumental, piano-based releases in 2007, then branching out into a completely different world with the more folky 'Home' in late 2008, which has all but established Broderick as the young composer to watch ? with critical acclaim from music magazines (NME/Mojo/Uncut) and broadsheet press alike. 'A precociously talented, classically trained multi-instrumentalist' ? The Independent / 'A songwriter of beguiling depth' #19 Album of 2008 ? The Sunday Times June 1st sees his first major release of 2009, 'Music for Falling From Trees', a 30-minute piece, in seven sections, created for a contemporary dance by London-based choreographer Adrienne Hart (Neon Productions). Adrienne was looking for a score of piano and strings, so he left the guitar and his voice aside and focused entirely on those two timbres. 'I decided to take this literally and make a rule not to use any other instrument. In the script it called for the sound of a ticking clock. I made this sound by tapping on the body of the violin with my fingernails.'
