Broadcast was/is one of my favorite bands of the last 10 years. Lots of bands try to make forward looking music that integrates characteristics of the past, but few were as successful at it the way Broadcast was. Their music was strongly rooted in 60’s psychedelic pop but always looked forward to the electronic sounds of the 90’s and today. To me Broadcast existed in a universe where the 1960’s pop culture existed forever but we now had robot butlers, flying cars, and holiday vacations on Mars. Sadly Trish Keenan, the lead singer, passed away this year. But due to our futuristic technology, Broadcast will be releasing a new album using some of her recorded vocals.
