Broadcast have have announced two new albums of demos for 2024 on Warp Records.
Spell Blanket – Collected Demos 2006-2009 to be released 3rd May 2024
Distant Call – Collected Demos 2000-2006 to be released 28th September 2024.
Listen to ‘Follow The Light’ here:
Spell Blanket comprises songs and sketches drawn from Trish’s extensive archive of 4-track tapes and MiniDiscs. The recordings lay the groundwork for what would have been Broadcast’s fifth album, offering a window into Trish and James’ creative process during the post-Tender Buttons period from 2006-2009.
Distant Call, in contrast to Spell Blanket, is a collection of early demos that were worked into finished productions appearing on Haha Sound, Tender Buttons and The Future Crayon.
Distant Call also includes two songs discovered by James after Trish’s passing: ‘Come Back To Me’ and ‘Please Call To Book’ which was her response to Broadcast’s 2006 Let’s Write A Song project, where fans were asked to submit lyrics on a postcard which would then be worked into a finished song.
Distant Call is a closing of the door on Broadcast and will be the last release from the band.
