"Dead The Long Year" came on shuffle and I thought it was some mid-90s RZA track until it got a bit weird.

New album of demos coming out in early 2024 - been waiting so long for something like this, total holy grail release
― meat and two vdgg (emsworth), Thursday, 28 September 2023 09:24 (eight months ago) link
Since Trish's untimely passing in 2011, James has continued to remember her by sharing unreleased Broadcast demos each year on her birthday, September 28th.
In the spirit of those birthday demos Broadcast present “Spell Blanket - Collected Demos 2006-2009"
The collection comprises songs and sketches drawn from Trish's extensive archive of 4-track tapes and minidiscs. The recordings lay the groundwork for what would have been Broadcast’s fifth album, offering an intimate window into the creative process of Trish and James during this period post Tender buttons.
'Spell Blanket - Collected Demos 2006-2009' will be released via Warp Records in early 2024.

I’m both sad and thrilled

Yes, that.

Was inspired to listen to The Noise Made By People in between listening to Gwenno’s solo albums which are somewhat similar on another thread and it’s sounding so great right now.

Damn straight.

C'mon don't put a 36 song release on streaming with ONE song available and we have to wait till May?
Cruel.
One sample song is beautiful of course and one can only wonder what could've been.

woah new song sounds great, all in on this
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Thursday, 21 March 2024 15:45 (two months ago) link
yeah new song great but "Tears In The Typing Pool" (demo) also amazing... seemingly effortless to have a melody and structure like that already fleshed out from the start.
― citation needed (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 21 March 2024 16:01 (two months ago) link
that new song is stunning, amazing how hypnotic and compelling and complete it sounds with just three (?) elements - it makes me think of how tender buttons was an unfinished recording that was actually perfect, similar (much sadder) vibes here

it’s going to kill me, I expect. it must be very hard for James to put these out. I love the cover art as well.
― assert (matttkkkk), Friday, 22 March 2024 21:23 (two months ago) link
Gee, it really is two discs. September (!) for the 2000-2006 volume lol. Wasn't sure how to interpret the cover images on a certain Context-Free Streaming Platform. Only got as far as digging that photocopier aesthetic.

Both are coming out in May, a couple of weeks apart. Unless you mean vinyl?
― Xgau Murder Spa (nikola), Saturday, 23 March 2024 18:17 (two months ago) link
Never mind I didn’t read the small type properly. Dammit, seriously, September?!
― Xgau Murder Spa (nikola), Saturday, 23 March 2024 18:18 (two months ago) link
Duh. Distant Call is coming out on Trish’s birthday — what a beautiful way to wrap up this tradition, and the whole story.

There's something very final (obviously) but probably healthy about "This will be the last music from Broadcast".
― djh, Sunday, 24 March 2024 22:23 (two months ago) link
had a look at the Spell Blanket track listing and nothing seemed to be obviously ‘Eyes Open’ or ‘Dulcimer Jam’… but i guess time will tell

spell blanket is well titled. some absolutely beautiful songs, all of it is mesmerizing. almost like the acapella sketches more than the finished ones.

yeah, this is really fantastic. not that I expected them to be barrel scrapings or something, but still found myself frequently amazed at how gorgeous some of these are!
