Taken from Spell Blanket - Collected Demos 2006-2009 Released 3rd May 2024 on Warp Records
“Spell Blanket is a glimpse at what might have been. A memory of the future.” - 9/10 UNCUT (Archive LP Of The Month)
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.
Out today, a new single ‘The Games You Play’ is an unheard vocal version of an instrumental track called ‘DDL’ which first appeared on the All Tomorrow's Parties 1.0 compilation in 2001 and was subsequently compiled on The Future Crayon rarities album in 2015.
Due for release later in the year (September 28th), 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 is a closing of the door on Broadcast and will be the last release from the band. https://broadcast.warp.net
