silent way - color filter
a japanese outfit spelling color the american way releasing an album in uk on
pointy records, 'tis a beautifully messed up world we live in
opening with a mbv style of quietness and backwards loops and falls into the simply gorgeous 'waiting for the fall' old fashioned synthesisers do their jean michel jarre thing in the background while the band create their otherworldly electro infused pop music with to die for delicate female vocals by yuki .. sweetness and harmony embedded within. very impressive. hazy sunday afternoons and 60 french pop music. st etienne comes to mind. the album is a lovely soundtrack to the start of the day .. 'rollercoaster' is supreme pop music with its fine use of mellotrons, flutes, polite harmonies, reverb, piano's. special stuff.
having read reviews for about broadcast over the years this is exactly how i expected them to sound when i eventually caught up with their music and had them all wrong as i found their music to be quite cold and uninvolving to those who dont study their art, whereas color filters seems to be far more welcoming and subsequently more enjoyable.
so for some alt.pop music done with a style and attention to detail then this is indeed nice pleasant stuff ..
