Hear a previously unreleased demo from Broadcast, “Follow the Light”
Last fall, Broadcast announced plans to release Spell Blanket, a collection of unreleased demos made between 2006 and 2009. That collection arrives on May 3 via Warp, and it’ll be followed by another set of earlier demos, Distant Call, which covers demos recorded between 2000 and 2006. It arrives on September 28, and mostly covers early versions of material that appeared on records like Tender Buttons, Haha Sound and The Future Crayon. However, the material on Spell Blanket has never been released in any official version, and today the group have released a new song from that collection, “Follow the Light,” which you can hear below, along with a demo version of “Tears in the Typing Pool.”
