Public Service Broadcasting: (From L) Wrigglesworth, J Willgoose, Esq, JFAbraham

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

Soundcheck | Jul 1, 2021

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 The Race For Space was full of voices from the Apollo moon missions; and their 2017 album, Every Valley, is built around documentary sounds of the mining communities of southern Wales – the boom and its subsequent collapse.

Public Service Broadcasting performs live in our studio with a dance-able, yet intentional history lesson, or two. (From the Archives, 2017.)
