“Sorry I can’t come and play for you right now. Here’s a video I made to make up for it.”— Dan Brodie.
Tear Us Down from critically acclaimed new album “Deep Deep Love.”
Dan Brodie’s new album “Deep Deep Love” has already received many glowing reviews. However, illness has caused a postponement of his launch tour.
To make up for it Dan has made a video of Tear Us Down from the album. Close up and personal, it is a minimalist, sparse setting for Dan to frame the song, which was shot and directed in only one take by Dave Larkin (Dallas Crane) earlier this month.
Dan said, “This clip isn’t about bells and whistles. It’s simple – you could call it kind of an anti-filmclip with no edits and little action, the focus is on the song.”
The clip had to be shot simply in part to conserve Dan’s energy and the result is intimate and visceral, all black and white beauty.
Dan hopes it goes some way to making up for the tour cancellation and offers heartfelt thanks for the understanding and support of his many friends.
Please enjoy.

Reviews for “Deep Deep Love”:
“This slow-burn album, characterised by intimate vocals, absorbing lyrics and graceful instrumentation, will gradually hook you into its pensive charms.”
Beat Magazine – Graham Blackley
“If Dan Brodie were an actor, he wouldn’t be the star of the show. He would be the guy the other actors on set wanted to hang out with, the guy the director would turn to when he needed a moment of inspiration to get the show on the road. This album… shows why Brodie was twice nominated for ARIA Awards.”
The Age – Martin Boulton
“Stunning guitar work and honest vocals… magnificent tension… a remarkable cohesiveness, with each piece contributing to the larger story. Deep Deep Love is a mature and poignant release.”

“He has an incredible ability to tap into a vein that pulls directly at the listener’s heartstrings, and when he gets that right, he is as good as any of Australia’s most lauded troubadours.”
