Broadcast, an English band led by James Cargill and Trish Keenan, began releasing music in the late nineties and continue to put out albums despite Keenan’s passing. Although an album was released as late as last year (“Mother Is The Milky Way”), the album that originally sparked and continues to fan the flame of their cult following is their first complete album, “Work And Non Work.”

The full aural concept of the work is best pictured two ways: walking through a pumpkin patch set in the Scooby-Doo universe and retro-centered jazz club hosted a Twilight Zone theme night.

I found myself describing each feature of this album as eerie, especially the song “Phantom.”Its lyric-less chimes and electronic whirls perfectly encapsulate a phantasmic appearance that leaves you a bit jittery, but equally thrilled for more.

While neither the intro nor the outro of the actual album, the songs “The Book Lovers” and “The World Backwards” could pair together perfectly as an intro/outro to a live-action cozy but mystic mystery series. Although the true intro song to the album, “Accidentals,” doesn’t particularly fit as a TV series opening track, it perfectly sets the mood for the rest of the album with its eerily monotonous vocals and repetitive, uncanny keys and lulling score.

I’ve been attached to “The Book Lovers” for over a year prior to giving the full album the chance it deserved, and admittedly, I find myself daydreaming the perfect, no-skip intro montage with every listen —and that’s a lot of listens since it was in the top three songs of my 2022 Spotify Wrapped.

Overall, the sprinkling of keyboard experimentation stirred in with a heap of 1960s-esque psychedelic jazz and thorough drizzle of soft, lulling vocals perfectly brewed an eerily intriguing album that deserves increased appreciation this autumn season.
