Biography
?Tender Buttons? is a solar system of songs. Each song has its own environment, its own set of inhabitants with their own psychological perspective on life.? Returning after a two year absence, the album sees a new sound for the band and a new line up of just Keenan and James Cargill. Blending their influences of the BBC Radiophonic workshop and library music, with simple pop structures and reach-out melodies, Tender Buttons stands out from previous albums The Noise Made By People and HAHA Sound. Its minimalist arrangements and original lyrical settings show the band's new and liberated approach to the craft of album making. Gone are the detailed live drum performances to be replaced by sparse, hypnotic electronic drum beats, while Trish?s lyrics and uninflected vocal style reveal a fearless and developed creativity not shown before. With three brilliant LPs and countless sold out live shows across the globe, Broadcast continue to prove themselves to be an original and captivating band.
