Birmingham, United Kingdom (1995 – present)
Space age pop collagists Broadcast formed in Birmingham, England, in 1995; comprising late vocalist Trish Keenan (1968-2011), guitarist Tim Felton, bassist James Cargill, keyboardist Roj Stevens, and drummer Steve Perkins.
The quintet came together out of a shared affection for the psychedelic cult band The United States of America, a primary influence on their subsequent work as a group.
Debuting in 1996 with the Wurlitzer Jukebox label single “Accidentals,” Broadcast immediately won favorable comparisons to Stereolab for their sample-heavy, analog, synth-driven sound; the comparisons continued when they signed to Stereolab’s Duophonic Super 45s imprint for their next effort, “Living Room.”
After the icily atmospheric Book Lovers EP, the group moved to Warp Records to release 1997’s Work and Non-Work, a compilation of their existing singles tracks. The much-anticipated full-length The Noise Made by People finally appeared in early 2000 and the Extended Play Two EP was issued that fall. Ever the studio perfectionists, fans had to wait until 2003 to hear any new material from the band, when the Pendulum EP arrived that spring and Haha Sound appeared that summer.
In fall 2005, Broadcast — pared down to the duo of Keenan and Cargill — issued the America’s Boy single and Tender Buttons full-length.
