Reviews

    Broadcast’s first album, <I>Work and Non Work</I>, is actually a compilation of early singles and EPs. It’s a wonderful introduction to the band and their unique sound. At once emotional and icily cool, the band’s combination of Trish Keenan’s high vocals and harpsichord-like synths becomes something beautiful and fractal. Their use of off-kilter melodies and modal harmonies crashed into a distinct pop sensibility is evident on “Messages From Home.” Eerie cinematics comes to the forefront, as well, on instrumentals like “Phantom.” Broadcast’s lyrics are actually of worth to listen to and complement the music hand-in-glove; listen, for instance, to the plaintive longing of “Lights Out.” It’s the thinking person’s pop music.
