Broadcast

Next month sees the release of "Distant Call," a collection of demos recorded by Broadcast from 2000 to 2006.  And it will be their swan song.  With the passing of Trish Keenan back in 2011, bandmate James Cargill has painstakingly released as much material the two were working on and more over the last 13 years: demos, film scores, BBC sessions, and so much more.  That door finally closes with "Distant Call."  Tear.  Check out the unearthed and previously unreleased "Come Back to Me" below and pre-order the album here from Warp.

Broadcast

In September, we are lucky enough to receive two collections of demos from Broadcast, one being "Distant Call," a collection featuring demos recorded between 2000 and 2006 that would eventually become the band's albums that we all know and love.  The other is "Spell Blanket," a collection of demos and sketches recorded between 2006 and 2009 up to Trish Keenan's untimely death that would have eventually become the band's fifth album.  I'm super stoked for these and don't know if i can wait until September.  To tide us over, here's the gentle, whispered "Follow the Light."  Check it out below and pre-order both records here from Warp.

Broadcast

The good folks over at Warp Records are set to release 3 new collections of music from the gone but not forgotten band Broadcast (a perennial favorite around these parts).  The albums include two records that were previously tour-only CDs, "Mother Is the Milky Way," and "Microtonics Vols. 1 & 2," and the other, "BBC Maida Vale Sessions," collects recordings from the BBC.  All of them are most definitely worth your time.  Pre-order them here, and listen to the band cover Nico's "Sixty Forty" below.

Daily Jam - The Book Lovers

Going to get myself back on the right track today by listening Broadcast.  I suggest you all do the same.  Here's "The Book Lovers," one of the band's earlier tracks and our Daily Jam.

Odd Nosdam - T r i s h

It's hard to believe it's been almost 5 years since we lost Broadcast's Trish Keenan.  In 2013, Anticon member/producer/musician Odd Nosdam released a very limited cassette EP tribute to the late singer, and it's getting a vinyl reissue this month on Sonic Cathedral.  It's hazy.  It's beautiful.  It's wonderful.  Listen to "T r i s h" below.
