The GHOSTS of Broadcast’s ‘The Noise Made by People’
In March of 2000, Broadcast (helmed by Trish Keenan and James Cargill) released their debut album “The Noise Made By People.” Blending a dreamy psychedelia with both futuristic and vintage inspired pop sensibilities, their sound was one that has built quite the cult following over the years. This is the story of that album and how the ghosts within linger, long after Keenan’s passing.

Well I'm glad a lot of people are finding broadcast even all these years later. I still mourn the loss to this day🖐

There were many good bands in the late 1990s and early 2000s, but Broadcast might be the most interesting. Destroyer and The Clientele made some great records around that time, but Broadcast's huge, gorgeous hooks and ultramodern soundworlds make their records more appealing to more people even now. I think if Broadcast were on the radio today, they would have many hits.

Saw them twice. Mesmerising both times.

I still miss this band. Her voice was unique, she sang effortlessly, like she wasn't even trying.

Now that you've done Broadcast, Stereolab should be next.

There’s a special place in my heart for W&NW, because that’s the one that was out when I came across Broadcast. Played it for anyone who’d listen, and most of those people ended up grabbing a copy. In a sense it became the collective soundtrack to our early adulthood.

They were one of the best bands ever, in my opinion. They didn't stay still stylistically, with aach album revealing it's own set of wonderful songs. R.I.P. Trish.
