Initially, the ██ ██ album is a shock, and not always a pleasant one; many ██ ██ Broadcast fans have come to expect each release as a ██ ██ chance to be blown away by the group's ever-bigger and ██ ██ better sounds, and from their early EPs to the ornate ██ ██ Haha Sound, Broadcast seemed to challenge themselves by ██ ██ adding more layers and twists and turns to their music. ██ ██ Here, Trish Keenan and James Cargill push themselves to ██ ██ do more with much less. The pruning ends up being ██ ██ prudent; concentrating on just a few musical motifs, ██ ██ Tender Buttons has a uniquely fresh, modern feel. ██ ██ Sparingly applied beats, intricate but subtle guitars, ██ ██ and hazy synths dominate the album, providing a ██ ██ restrained backdrop for Keenan's quietly commanding voice ██ ██ and crossword-puzzle lyrics. As if to underscore ██ ██ Broadcast's new aesthetic, Tender Buttons opens with some ██ ██ of its most radical departures: "I Found The F"'s largely ██ ██ spoken vocals and driving bassline, "Black Cat"'s austere ██ ██ pulse, and the title track's whispery, sinister ██ ██ sensuality all stretch (or rather, shrink) the boundaries ██ ██ of what a Broadcast song can be. At first, these tracks ██ ██ just sound unfinished, but the beauty of their bareness ██ ██ reveals itself eventually. Not all of Tender Buttons is ██ ██ this naked. The single "America's Boy" (which somehow ██ ██ manages to play into and dismiss the mythic American ██ ██ soldier at the same time) and "Arc Of A Journey"'s ██ ██ stargazing are a little more fleshed out, nodding to the ██ ██ full, swirling sound of Broadcast's earlier work without ██ ██ rehashing it. Likewise, "Michael A Grammar" and "Goodbye ██ ██ Girls" offer a more colorful, charming spin on the band's ██ ██ new approach. Still, Tender Buttons' most restrained ██ ██ moments are often most striking: "You And Me In Time" ██ ██ plays like a delicately surreal update of Julee Cruise's ██ ██ spacy torch-pop, while the absolutely stunning vignette ██ ██ "Tears In The Typing Pool" makes the most of an acoustic ██ ██ guitar and Keenan's gorgeous vocals and evocative song- ██ ██ writing skills. Oddly enough, Tender Buttons' simplicity ██ ██ makes it more demanding than Broadcast's other work; it ██ ██ requires more than just a few listens to sink in. ██ ██ However, the tension between Broadcast's catchy and ██ ██ aloof, experimental sides is what makes their music ██ ██ intriguing, and Tender Buttons is no different in that ██ ██ regard: even when it seems to be stripped bare, it's ██ ██ still full of mystery. ██ █▓ ▓█ ▓▒ URL........: http://www.broadcast.uk.net/ ▓█ ░░ ▓█ ░ ┌─┬─┬─┬┬┬─┐ ┌─┬─┬┬┬─┐ ▓█ █▄ │┌│││││││││ │││││││└┤ ▓█ ▄██████████████████████████████████████████████■ │├┤ ┤││││┌┘ │││┌┤ ├┐│ ▓█ ██▀ █▀ └─┴┴┴─┴─┴┘ └┴┴─┴┴┴─┘ ▓█ ██ ▒█ █▓ ▒█ █▓ Da-DudeZ are a bunch of friends who enjoy good music. ▒█ █▓ Since August 2004, our goal is to bring you the music ▒█ █▓ we like, mostly rock/metal/goth/alt/indie/punk. ▒█ █▓ ▒█ █▒ We are not focused on quantity nor speed, but we're ▒█ █▒ working hard on producing high quality releases. ▒█ █▒ All our releases are ripped using EAC (Secure mode), ░█ █▒ compressed with LAME (-V 0 --vbr-new), formatted with ░█ █▒ lotsa attention (tags, releases infos, ...) and checked ░█ █░ very carefully. ░█ █░ ░█ █░ We're currently looking for affils 10/100mbit EU. ░█ █░ Don't hesitate to contact us.
