I woke up this morning full of life, and with all intentions of posting some tracks off of Wyclef's latest effort. After checking my email I quickly realized that this would not be the case for today. In fact, before hearing this remixed track, I'm not sure if I ever was full of life. Ever. Broadcast 2000 is the creative effort of Joe Steer and after posting about him a couple of weeks ago he has rapidly climbed the popularity chart here at TWF to become one of the most requested artists I've ever had the [...]
What would the name Broadcast 2000 suggest to you? I'd think of an electronic artist for sure. Maybe even one in some sort of awe of erm, Broadcast maybe. It also makes me think of all these pre-millennial ropily-titled clubs, pseudonyms and other projects, whose built-in titular obsolescence was evident as soon as the clocked ticked 12:00 on 1 January 2001. But anyone misled by the name would be missing out on some fine music, because that's exactly what Joe Steer, who is Broadcast 2000 provides us with. And far [...]
Broadcast 2000 is the creative fruit of a very talented multi-instrumentalist named Joe Steer. He creates, records, and masters all of his own music in his very own flat/studio in north London and I must say that his boy has the touch. I would easily list him alongside acts like Beirut, Sufjan Stevens, DeVotchKa, and the more folksy {not so tribal} days of Paul Simon. And I put him up with these artist not simply because he shares a similar folk infused theme in his music, but because the raw and unabashed talent is so apparent on every single track [...]
Joe Steer the multi-instrumentalist out of London, England and the artist behind Broadcast 2000 recently stumbled across our blog offering to let us check out his "Build Blocks" EP early which is due out on January 1. Upon listening to songs on his myspace , I knew I definitely had to get a copy of his EP. Broadcast 2000 is entirely produced, composed (lyrically and musically) in Steer's bedroom where he has a mix of the cello, doublebass, guitar, ukulele, glockenspiel, banjo, and makeshift percussions. He either plays with a backing band or may play [...]
1. Liam Finn - Wide Awake on the Voyage Home - There will be a day where talking about Liam Finn will not require the identification of his famous father Neil (Crowded House, Split Enz). Judging by his incredible debut album, that day is just around the bend. This track smolders with hypnotizing sadness, a beautiful melody in 3/4 time. "Tell me love isn't true. Is this just a trick to procreate?" [from I'll Be Lightning (out 1.22.08)| buy ] 2. Broadcast 2000 - [...]
The Speakers - "You'll Remember" . The first two and a half minutes are about trying not to remember, and the last minute and a half are about nothing but remembering. There's an eternity between each resound of piano. Enough time to have a thought and then shove it away; enough time to be happy for a moment before there's that flicker of recall; enough time to imagine for a second that you could forget, that you could move on, that you could leave your sorrow with the water that spirals down the drain of the sink. The Speakers [...]
