The official music video for Papercuts by Broadcast, featuring a reference to Brion Gysin’s Dreamachine.
“Everything in Broadcast’s world is approachable, maybe even just this side of familiar. But it’s all wrapped in a curious, hallucinatory gauze, leading the listener down all manner of tunnels, vortices and funhouse mirrors. Keenan, by contrast, opts for a more direct approach in her lyrics, focusing on more emotional, human concerns… There’s at once something unsettling about Broadcast’s music, and yet there’s an innocence and weirdly nostalgic quality that lends it a certain warmth only afforded to albums most of us have lived with for years. It’s like a hallucination, in a way, but one that takes us somewhere familiar, for reasons that aren’t always easy to parse out.”
