In travelling on the tube, zipping through the stations and staring at the pictures of the POWs, that is what struck me about the new Broadcast was that the songs speed by; that need for speed. The violence could come from my own thoughts about the war and the general anxiety. Broadcast make something new their own.

Her voice is working beautifully, too, singing to someone about half a yard to the left of wherever it is you're looking. I was gonna listen to the Donnas album, but this has just overtaken it big time.

The EP will be followed by the band's second proper LP, 'hahasound', due for release in August. The Birmingham group's acclaimed debut album 'The Noise Made By People' was released in 2000.
Broadcast play a string of US dates in May before commencing their UK tour. The dates are:
Glasgow Academy 3 (May 27) Manchester Hop and Grape (May 28) Cambridge Boatrace (May 29) London ULU (May 30) Brighton Pavilion (June 1)
Support comes from Imitation Electric Piano, except for Brighton Pavilion which is co-headlined with Alfie. The Projects also provide support at the ULU show.
For ticket availability
i will be at the ULU gig defo - got ticket already, see you down the front for a good heavy session of, erm, sage nodding

I haven't read my blogs recently, this has passed me by. This is so sad.
Only own the two last albums, I guess. And I really want all the others. Tender Buttons is such an appropriate name, I've never heard computer music sound so close to a hug and a roaring fire before. Listening to it seems like going to one of those empty but warm and inviting pubs with an old friend. I didn't even know Trish's name, I've never seen them live, I rarely read about them or anything but this feels like losing an old school buddy. The type you may have not spent a lot of time with an yet still ended up sharing a ton of secrets and in jokes with.
Tender Buttons and Haha sound really should be in everyone's collection, especially after how mental people went for The xx last year. And when I get a bit of money and sort my life out and can afford records again, I bet I will pick up their others and feel exactly the same way about them.

Those Bob Stanley and Andy Votel pieces are really pretty great.
Incidentally, the Motorway Mix also formed the basis for the pre-show soundtrack for those final dates. I distinctly remember the Harumi and Tangerine Peel tracks, at the very least, playing at high volume while they were merrily plugging in cables and erecting the projection screen, etc, on December 9th.

i was wondering if people were generally aware of the mother is a milky way tour lp from 2009? cos it certainly passed me by.it'a a lovely bucolic, valerie ahwow-ish twin of the witch cults record. less sound collage and spookiness but with the same faust-y all runing together quality, quite folky and at times jazz-y instrumentation . a tour release seems such an un-broacast thing but this was a real unlooked for joy to listen to.
― cw, Saturday, 12 February 2011 20:14 (2 years ago) Permalink
I got that on tour...they did that with a few releases. I have the 3" Microtonics CD. Mother is the Milky Way reminded me of His Name is Alive, stuff like King of Sweet.

Tracklist update from another forum:
03. Truck, "Earth Song"14. Carl Erdmann, "Devil Worship"
That Koji Ueno song, apart from the vocals, could be lifted straight from a Broadcast album. Been playing this mindbending mix a lot, it's a gorgeous bubble to float around in.

I miss Broadcast. BTW she's playing an early 90s Roland MIDI controller, the same as I have. It has 49 keys, a pitch bender you can push up on to use as a mod wheel, and one slider, that's it. This IMO is the best MIDI controller out there.

This is great news, as is the info about the album being made using some of Trish's stockpiled vocals. Those kinds of records can be awkward, and it doesn't change how sad it is that Trish died so suddenly, but as her partner is the one putting the record together it seems like it could be a really cool and touching record. Really looking forward to hearing both in due time.
