New Broadcast (RIP Trish Keenan Jan 2011)

I was listening to Broadcast last night lying in bed. It stuck me that there is something very ghostly about more recent Broadcast, and now Trish Keenan is a ghostly electronic presence.

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.

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.

wha? which mix

(should've waited for 4 days maybe but I've been playing their stuff again this week so hey)

don't know if it was posted elsewhere, but a recent interview with James Cargill quoted him as saying he's working on another album with vocals Trish recorded before her death.

I read about that somewhere, probably not the interview itself but a headline. Needless to say, looking forward to hear it.

sad anniversary. i think it's two records actually, a film score also.

Will be wandering around a lot listening to 'Mother Is the Milky Way' this weekend.

Relevant here I think: Berberian Sound Studio

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.

you can pre-order/preview it at Warp

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.

pretty amazing

The soundtrack is nice enough but I just don't think I'll play it that much. Holding out hope that their final album will be more the kind of Broadcast I love. I might be stating the obvious here but I really want to hear Trish's vocals when I listen to them.

I thought this was their final work?

In this interview James says there were two albums he's been working on. http://thequietus.com/articles/07478-broadcast-new-material

Ah! Excellent.

Interview on the (making of) the Berberian Sound Studio score.

James, Roj & Julian (Broadcast & Ghost Box) announced for the Deerhunter ATP.

Reissues later in the year.

Think this is the last act I saw at Maxwell's, so yet another reason to get nostalgia/saudade thinking about them. The room was really filled with energy that night.

Not so later, Fact cacked up Euro date format. March 9.

like I said

Broadcast. How could I have been so wrong?

i guess some are technically out of print, but all can be had really easily. or are these vinyl-only reissues?

I am so happy about these vinyl reissues. I have been waiting for them for years. I am going to buy that bundle and it will be the best thing ever.

they're not going to sound any better on vinyl than they do on CD.

IDGI

What's a CD?

ha. i just find it weird that people get excited to pay $30 (or whatever) for an album they already own, or could own for much cheaper.

I will be excited to buy the albums I've never owned! I've only ever had Tender Buttons. And... if I buy that on vinyl as well... just look away. Don't look at me.

Records are nice

people have too much money

Not that easily got, some going for $100.

Odd Nosdam, whose name has been on my all-time worst list for over a decade running just getting that out there, released an ep in tribute to Trish Keenan today.

Through the Broadcast facebook page:

Debut album from Children Of Alice, a collaborative project consisting of Broadcast’s James Cargill, frequent collaborator Roj Stevens and Julian House (Ghost Box Records, The Focus Group)

^ So stoked!

Oh, that's awesome. I'm so glad that they're progressing in some form.
