Broadcast - Distant Call LP

Broadcast - Distant Call LP (Warp/UK)

I'm not crying, you are! This will be the final Broadcast release and is the final chapter in one of the greatest discographies from one band of all time. This record is already sold out at the distributor level.

A Courtesy Desk all time favorite. Broadcast is one of the most important independent artists of the past 30 years. Think as influential of the Velvet Underground to the timeline of groundbreaking artists and just earning that level of historical importance/respect in the last decade. I hate the phrase musicians musician, but Broadcast has slowly become a genre of music onto themselves - retrofuturism at its very very best.

Distant Call is a collection of early demos that were worked into finished productions appearing on Haha Sound, Tender Buttons and The Future Crayon.

The album 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.
