Toronto, ON – March 6 th 2024 – Ensign Broderick today announces his return with not one but two
new albums: Come Down and Mirror Ring, set for release on May 16th and unveils the first tracks
“Inviolette” and “Cathedral Cities.”

Six years ago Ensign Broderick, the long hidden glam rock alter ego of Jason Sniderman, finally emerged and put out an astonishing five records at once becoming “one of the most fascinating
musical stories of 2018” (Billboard CA) and earning praise from likes of UNCUT, Exclaim, and The
Globe & Mail. Ensign Broderick has however been an integral part of Sniderman ever since he was
a teen, before Sniderman began his storied career in the studio and on the stage. Back then, he
would write and record original songs on a reel-to-reel tape machine as Ensign Broderick. But no one
else heard them until six years ago.

With his latest releases, Come Down and Mirror Ring, Ensign Broderick is stripping everything down
and starting anew. Both albums are built around just piano and voice. They’re companion records,
split into two only because back in Broderick’s earliest career, albums should never be more than 40
minutes anyway.

Come Down and Mirror Ring feature the kind of songs few people seem to write anymore:
ambitious, with an air of grandeur, with emotional, visually evocative lyrics about faces behind veils of
tears. There are three unexpected covers: one is a deep cut by Rush (“Bravado”). “I Keep a Close
Watch,” is from a mid-’70s John Cale album and The Kinks’ “(A)Face in the Crowd.”

Ensign Broderick is an enigmatic man, suggestive of another time, another place and space. His
new music is timeless—not just in the sense of being both familiar and future-forward, but as from a
place where clocks don’t exist. So don’t worry too much about who Ensign Broderick is. Revel in the
mystery and sink deep into the songs.
