Description
2022 reissue, 12″ LP, Warp Records.
For many years, Mother is the Milky Way has been one of the most sought-after artifacts in Broadcast’s discography. Originally released in limited quantities during their final tour in 2009, it has finally been given a proper release as part of a package of reissues by the band’s label, Warp. Musically, it’s amongst their most trippy and psychedelic releases – an experimental mini-album that sees the late Trish Keenan add icy, ethereal vocals to frequently creepy and otherworldly sound collages that make use of field recordings, children’s voices and decidedly hallucinogenic electronics. It’s perhaps not their most comforting of releases, but it remains one of their most interesting and alluring. – Juno
