Ensign Broderick.

With arena-sized glam and rock opera-wattage sparkle,

Ensign Broderick’s dramatic, piano-driven sound gushes

with the opulence and flamboyance of late 70s New Romanticism, Baroque melodrama and timeless teenage angst. A mysterious and reclusive figure, Ensign Broderick has emerged out of nowhere

with a fully-formed artistic vision that is completely out of time

and wholly compelling, a lavish mixture of personal secrecy

and raw, naked emotion bared in song.
