The release contains some of Broadcast’s warmest, most personal recordings as a group. Trish Keenan was known for her dreamily distant delivery on Broadcast’s records, but before connecting with James Cargill, Keenan was a part of another duo in Birmingham: the more folk-leaning Hayward Winters. While virtually nothing from that project made it onto the internet aside from a few mentions in interviews, it provides some explanation for how naturally Broadcast slipped into sample-heavy psych folk for Mother. The EP properly opens on ‘In Here The World Begins’, unfurling woozily but proving to be the closest Keenan and Cargill come to a standard issue Broadcast song here. Highlight ‘Elegant Elephant’ is more telling of the project’s aim, crafting a pastoral folk song in what sounds like the belly of a beast, soothed only by the reverberations of Keenan’s voice inside. Sketches of songs quickly give way to tripped out field recordings, woodwind interludes, and excited chatter underpinning Keenan’s singing, giving Mother a certain wide-eyed, psychedelic Alice in Wonderland-esque whimsy. Considering Keenan was a known lover of the children’s book, it’s hard not see Mother as a bittersweet, unintentional tribute to Keenan’s life, but far more enjoyable to just enjoy the ride down one last rabbit hole from Broadcast.\" - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=Warp+Records\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWarp Records\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efinal release from \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=Broadcast\u0026amp;_=pf\u0026amp;pf_v_artist_manufacturer=Broadcast%20%26%20The%20Focus%20Group\u0026amp;pf_v_artist_manufacturer=Broadcast\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=Broadcast\u0026amp;_=pf\u0026amp;pf_v_artist_manufacturer=Broadcast%20%26%20The%20Focus%20Group\u0026amp;pf_v_artist_manufacturer=Broadcast\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBroadcast\u003c\/a\u003e's core duo of Trish Keenan + James Cargill, originally available as a tour-only CD in 2009\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eblack vinyl pressing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efirst time on vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincludes printed insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edigital download included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoriginal release year: 2009\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Warp Records 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eALSO AVAILABLE\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/products\/broadcast-bbc-maida-vale-sessions-vinyl-lp\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBroadcast: Maida Vale Sessions Vinyl 2LP\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/products\/broadcast-microtronics-volumes-1-2-vinyl-lp\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBroadcast: Microtronics - Volumes 1+2 Vinyl LP\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Broadcast","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":39802244431962,"sku":"lp-12828","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/products\/broadcast-mother-is-the-milky-way-vinyl-lp-1.jpg?v=1759285548","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/products\/broadcast-mother-is-the-milky-way-vinyl-lp","provider":"turntablelab.sbs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
