Broadcast and The Focus Group mini album out now plus UK dates in December






Seems like a while ago since we announced the collaborative Broadcast and The Focus Group mini album via this mailing list... it's now available on CD, ltd LP and Download.

"Borrowing equally from Broadcast’s pop tendencies and The Focus Group’s love for sonic patchworks, and building on their common fascination for library music and soundtrack, 'Witch Cults..' is a totally unconventional release for either band, yet it is quintessentially theirs. It is also totally exquisite." 5/5 The Milk Factory - read review
