One of my heroes passed away yesterday morning. Trish Keenan of Broadcast died at 9 AM on Friday from complications related to pneumonia. Broadcast are/were one of my very, very favorite groups. To say that their body of work (including album covers) had a profound influence on my art practice during my mid-twenties would be an understatement. I only got to see them live once, and it was a revelatory show... and then we were too broke or busy or tired to see them in Portland when they played last fall. Missed opportunities. So sad--she was only 42. It is impossible to overstate just how much I cherish the music she left behind. The extent to which experimental pop is indebted to Broadcast is mind-boggling (Beach House or Atlas Sound anyone?). So, Peace and Respect, Trish. Thank you for everything.
