Indie singer/songwriter Tom Brosseau’s third full-length Posthumous Success signifies a stylistic shift from spare acoustic arrangements to a larger, richer sound. Brosseau draws inspiration from the literary (Hemingway, Georges Bataille, Flannery O’Connor) to the musical and cinematic (Dylan’s Time Out Of Mind and The Man Who Wasn’t There soundtrack) to the random (declining population of Detroit, polar bears and ice caps, and North Dakota oil derricks). Posthumous Success is witty, mature and well-rounded resulting in a lovely album that is masterfully crafted, personally intimate, and thematically and musically sprawling.
