The Profile

Broadcast were a British electronic music group from Birmingham, formed in 1995 and fronted by vocalist Trish Keenan alongside James Cargill. Known for a retro‑futurist blend of 1960s library/soundtrack sonics, analog electronics, and experimental pop.

From Birmingham; led by Trish Keenan with key contributor Tim Felton noted in early years; frequently compared to Stereolab but carved a distinct path; music draws on 60s soundtracks and library music; electronics integrated into pop forms; Work and Non Work (compilation) and The Noise Made by People (2000) are highlighted.

Two positive reviews chart Broadcast’s evolution from the retro-tinged compilation Work and Non Work to the refined pop architecture of The Noise Made by People. Reviewers praise Trish Keenan’s crystalline voice, hypnotic rhythms, and the band’s 60s library/soundtrack sensibility. Electronics are integrated tastefully into pop forms, distancing them from early Stereolab comparisons. Atmospheres evoke spy films, Morricone, and noir textures.
