I’m still not sure what to make of the ‘Pet sounds’ comparisons that pepper contemporary reviews of this album. I don’t hear it – maybe a bass line here or there which vaguely remembers one of the sort of melodic bass playing that you can hear in some Beach boys backing tracks. Broadcast is a very different sort of band, one for whom the charm is in how cold surfaces break up now and again under the attack of human emotions, only to close again almost instantly and leave you wondering if that was really a moment of humanity shining through or if it was just a mirage. It’s real, and the more you listen the wider the cracks show: it’s in Keenan’s vocals, it’s in how the repetitive riffs break up in a sudden beautiful chord change, it’s truly an evocative noise and it’s truly made by people.
