Tender Buttons


I have nooo idea how I missed this one. Thought I was on top of my game and apparently I am not. I have no idea who Broadcast are. I really really really love their fourth and last album, Tender Buttons (Gertrude Stein shout-out?) so so much. The etheral electrics and lead singer Trish Keenan's droning yet beautiful voice soars through fourteen tracks of pure bliss.
This album, along with Jens Lekman's Oh You're So Silent Jens and New Buffalo's The Last Beautiful Day have seriously been holding my playlist captive for the past week or so. All beautiful beautiful gems and I wish I knew about them all sooner so they could have been contenders on my year-end list.

America's Boy

Buy the album from Insound.

I adore Broadcast -- I don't know how you've missed them either!
