Meaningful Audacity

“America’s Boy,” the most excitable song off of Broadcast’s newest album, Tender Buttons, must contain one of the very few examples of the Iraq war in art that somehow avoids a pro- or anti-war statement.

On their latest release, Talkie Walkie, Air has produced a firmly interesting and even at times exhilarating album.

For a band that’s generally avoided major scales in the past because, as singer Trish Keenan stated, they kept coming out too happy (“like Britpop”), Broadcast certainly does something beautiful and with great depth with the happiness on their latest album, hahasound.
