Broadcast - Until Then

Benoit Pioulard and Rafael Anton Irisarri - Until Then (Broadcast Cover)


The build at the end is immense like watching a giant wave grow and grow until it crashes silently and you turn and all you see is the twinkling melody of a piano.

Broadcast's Trish Keenan sung with a nearly famous calmness. "Until Then," like much of the group's discography is anchronistic. In 2000 Thom Yorke called The Noise Made By People his third favorite recording of the year, and yet in 2011 it feels new to those of us learning of Broadcast as we learn about Keenan's death. The juxtaposition of dark, detached lyrics with the gentle vocals and rhythm-less samples is frankly confusing. And as it should be, sincerity is so much more believable when it's not sung selfishly.
