R.I.P. Trish Keenan


Broadcast has always been a solid band, but what made them shine was Trish Keenan's beautiful vocals. She's right up there with Liz Fraiser and Bilinda Butcher for me - she could transport you to a peaceful place with her singing.
One of the best examples of how hypnotizing her vocals is, listen to Echo's Answer here:

That's by far my favourite Broadcast song, because it's very minimal and the focus through the entire song is on Keenan. It's amazing at how simple it is, yet you're still absorbed in the middle of it.

Tender Buttons (album) is another example of Keenan at her best. Truly a sad and unexpected loss.
