The exceptional avant-pop group combines with the Ghost Box records founder for a mini-LP that highlights their differences as much as their shared vision.
Broadcast and The Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age was voted one of the best 50 albums of 2009 by The Wire.
"So Witch Cults of the Radio Age is predictable-- actually, it's surprising that they didn't decide to record something like it earlier. But for all their similarities, Broadcast and the Focus Group approach their peaks in very different ways. Broadcast's music is sensual and chic; it has poise, groove, and sex; it's black eyeliner...by contrast, the Focus Group's native tongue is the stutter; the music's imbalance is in its DNA." - Pitchfork
