Oh Man...
First post of the year and it's another cheery one.
I just read that Trish Keenan, the vocalist from Broadcast, passed away a short while ago from complications with pneumonia.
She had a wonderful ethereal voice which complemented their music very well, and what makes it hit me harder is that I only really started getting into their music within the last few months via their most recent album, a collaboration entitled "Broadcast and The Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age". Suddenly I find out that I'm already at the end of their story (although I still have a few of the middle bits to fill in). I'm sure the others will continue to produce music that interests me, but her vocals felt like such an important part of the mix and she had so much more she could have contributed to the world. Ten years of music which should have lasted much longer.
