Multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter Heather Woods Broderick’s talents have been put to use by Sharon Van Etten and Laura Gibson; and she’s been a member of Efterklang and Horse Feathers. Her latest record, Invitation, is a grand and mysterious adventure into quiet and dark introspection. Piano riffs anchor this baroque-folk pop, and string arrangements might reflect the swells and whispers of her new digs around the impressive coastal landscape of Oregon. Or, as woods-broderick.php">Western Vinyl puts it: "It's about how the stillness of such settings can unearth the disquiet often buried by the infinite distractions of a life without pause." Heather Woods Broderick joins us to play some of these songs in-studio.  - Caryn Havlik
