Broadcast

In our September review of Broadcast’s third album, Tender Buttons, we insisted that the British band’s recent reduction to two members has done nothing but emboldened the daydreamy, electronically fused French-bistro-in-Mars sound of the group, and the same can be said for the duo’s live shows. Live drums have been replaced with a machine, but every other sonic facet of these Brits, including Trish Keenan’s vocals that sound like she’s pleading from the bottom of a well, remain intact on stage.
