Public Service Broadcasting Samples the Past, Makes Music of the Future (Archives)




Soundcheck show

Summary: <p>The English outfit called Public Service Broadcasting builds its records around archival and documentary sounds, then layering in live drums, guitar, banjo, bass flugelhorn, and electronics. Their 2015 album <em>The Race For Space</em> was full of voices from the Apollo moon missions; and their 2017 album, <em>Every Valley</em>, is built around documentary sounds of the mining communities of southern Wales – the boom and its subsequent collapse.</p> <p>Public Service Broadcasting performs live in our studio with a dance-able, yet intentional history lesson, or two.
