...according to our Brian on 29 December 2006.

From the opposite end of the quality spectrum saunter Brummie krautrock 60's waltz gods BROADCAST with a new full lengther. Yes, that's BROADCAST. So good they have their name in big letters. Warp's best signing of the 90's bar Aphex & BOC. The band Stereolab never quite managed to be. We like these tons here at Normansville. We think the lady's voice tells us amazing things and we go to sleep humming their songs. This new album is called 'Ha Ha Sound' and is more of the same i.e. it's fantastic.. Limited CD in book, bog standard CD in a jewel case & slightly retro vinyl, in a futuristic way, of course!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

You get the sense that time matters little in Broadcast's world. Their music, so exquisitely languid, seems to come from a place where clocks don't exist.

You can hear it in the chorus to Ominous Clouds: "I've got to get away," sings Trish Keenan, "from this town, don't want to face the ominous clouds - but for now, not now." Her cool, self-possessed voice floats on a flurry of electrically charged melodies, deferring the future, locking us in a sun-drenched present.

Of course, the trouble with the Bristol quintet moving at their own pace is that the gaps between albums are painfully long: Haha Sound's predecessor, The Noise Made by People, came out three years ago.

But, listening to the album, you feel they haven't wasted a second. Every note, every lyric, is perfect. From the joyful clatter of Colour Me In to the shimmering Before We Begin and the sherbet fizz of Lunch Hour Pops, Haha Sound radiates impish pleasure - a bliss that proves entirely infectious.
