Obviously this is an self-titled album Broadcast 2000 by Broadcast 2000. Which was the band first debut album and just released a week ago. So, yeah is a very new album. Broadcast 200 is a British acoustic indie-folk band which was the brainchild of multitalented singer-songwriter Joe Steer. And this album does live up to his name, multitalented.
There were so many instruments that being played out in the entire album and yet they were harmonious enough to create such soothing symphonies. Broadcast 2000 offer a similar warm, low-key takes on indie folk with interesting mixes of different instruments. It was light and a bit upbeat if you compare it to the other indie/folk singer, like Damien Rice, Ray Lamontagne. It is somewhere in between Friska Viljor and Noah and the Whale. And definitely is a joy for those who like The Sleeper by The Leisure Society because I did. Hehe…
There were so many outstanding songs in this album. The album kick off with Rouse Your Bones which started with glockenspiel which plays a major role in this album. Another track was That Sinking Feeling, gosh this song is like a instruments convention meeting. There were so many musical instruments played through out the entire song, double bass, violin, glockenspiel, percussion, ukulele and cello. It’s mind blowing good. Get Up and Go is another masterpiece, the glockenspiel carries the song perfectly. I never thought glockenspiel can be play like this. I used to hate glockenspiel sound as it was very annoying now after listening to this album it totally change my perception on that instrument.
I Hold My Breath is another highlight which started off with glockenspiel then the cellos come in and change the ‘flavour’ of the song. Gonna Build A Mountain was mostly base on ukulele.
No doubt this is an amazing album. And Broadcast 2000 is going to be a successful band if Steer continue to lead the band.
This is the official music video of Get Up and Go by Broadcast 2000. Which I think is using the stop motion concept to film the video. The actors actually ‘freezes’ while the video is still rolling. Mind you it is not a combination of pictures,
