Broadcast Tender Buttons on LP + Download
Broadcast will have their long out of print LPs made available again through Warp Records. Compilation album Work And Non Work (1997); full-lengths The Noise Made By People (2000), Haha Sound (2003) and Tender Buttons (2005); rarities album The Future Crayon (2006); and mini-album Broadcast and The Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age (2009) - will all be released on the label in March 2015.
Returning after a two year absence, this LP saw a new sound for the band and a new line up of just Keenan and James Cargill. Stripped down to these essential components, they sought inspiration from minimalist post-punk outfits like Young Marble Giants and created a record of pop melodies that maintained the signature Broadcast feeling of melodrama and despondency.
Having lost a third member in the run-up to this album, track 11 is entitled "Minus 3" and further demonstrates Broadcast’s ability to bring real life experiences to record in inventive and effective ways. The stark minimalism of Tender Buttons was a first for Broadcast but their enduring melodies triumphed once again.
