Broadcast and the Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age is a collaboration album by Broadcast and the Focus Group, released by Warp on 27 October 2009. Musician, graphic designer and Ghost Box Records co-founder Julian House (artist behind the Focus Group) had collaborated previously on artwork and packaging by British indie electronic group Broadcast.
Broadcast released a collaborative album with the Focus Group (aka graphic designer and Ghost Box label co-owner Julian House) called Broadcast and the Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age in October 2009 . Keenan suffered from stage fright in Broadcast's early days, and earned a reputation for a "shoegazing onstage introversion. I used to get nervous like the whole of that day of the show, and now it only happens the moment I walk onstage," she later said in a 1998 interview.
But that is not what Radio Age is about. It is about those textures and acidy little trips on the back pages of albums and films all over the 60s. Broadcast are so good, they can perfectly bring off what may SEEM formless and have the disciplne to make it work over an entire album. Everything segues well and works over the long haul here. This album is one of the closest anyone could come to experiencing a drug high without having to indulge in the real thing. Let your mind go and "Broadcast & The Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age" will take you on a unique trip you won't soon forget. 3 people found this helpful.
Summary: Broadcast joins up with The Focus Group to release a 23-track mini album together. Genre(s): Electronic, Alternative. Witch Cults is like the sound of Broadcast and the Focus Group trying to cast their spells at the same time: Some of the record is great, plenty of it is cross-chatter.
Broadcast and The Focus Group. Broadcast and The Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults Of The Radio Age. Overview (current section).
The Focus Group is Julian House, maintainer of the Ghost Box label, a repository for library music, soundtracks and other such cut and paste retro-futuristic pieces that are commonly grouped together under the genre heading 'hauntology'. Such reimagining of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, hugely influential to the British wing of avant-garde sonic experimentalists, makes the pair a fair match. What such a meeting of similarly attuned minds turns out isn't so much a coherent body of popular music work as a collage of found sounds and snippets of investigative layered breaks
The new Broadcast album, in the company of Julian House’s Focus Group, has proved to be one of those records that resist, in some way, being written about. Perhaps it may be something to do with how Broadcast And The Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults Of The Radio Age is a slippery, fragmentary listen; a collage of 23 disjointed, often dislocated snippets that feel as if they’ve been harvested from a dusty collection of neglected old soundtracks
