Broadcast, the incredible English band made up of Trish Keenan and James Cargill, will release two final demo collections later this year, the last material that the project will put out after Keenan sadly passed away in 2011. In the years since then, Cargill has shared some stray demos, usually on Keenan’s birthday.

The first of these demo collections, Spell Blanket – Collected Demos 2006-2009, will arrive in May, and it’s made up of material from Keenan’s archive of 4-track tapes and MiniDiscs, and they are songs that would have been intended for Broadcast’s follow-up to Tender Buttons.

Distant Call – Collected Demos 2000-2006 will follow in September, and that comprises demos of songs that mostly did make their studio albums, plus two previously unheard songs that Cargill discovered after Keenan’s death, “Come Back To Me” and “Please Call To Book,” which were inspired by a 2006 project the band did where fans were asked to submit lyrics on postcards to be used in a finished song.

A press release notes: “Distant Call is a closing of the door on Broadcast and will be the last release from the band.”

Below, you can hear a track from each of the collections: “Follow The Light” comes from Spell Blanket, and a demo of “Tears In The Typing Pool” off Tender Buttons comes from Distant Call.
