Sequel to the very atmospheric “06:06am” released in June 2005, this new release is definitely a turning point for Broadway. Up until then, they could be seen as a band flirting with Boards of Canada’s electronica, with melodies kept in the background... A vision of pop through the prism of My Bloody Valentine in some ways... When entering their automaton, you can (re)discover a band in the real sense of the word, where machines give more space to vocals, piano, guitars or double-bass. This album could by the way find a place in the Anticon catalogue, with clear influences of bands like The Velvet Underground, Radiohead or Sigur Ròs. Its universe alternates between an intimate and melancholic side (“Automatons”, “Letters in Hearts”) and a more frontal and energetic aspect (“Stop Motion”, “High Treason”). Faithful to the cinematic universe developed in “06:06am” while giving a larger place to their pop influences (acoustic instruments, vocals), the members of Broadway are inviting you to a new odyssey through unexplored lands.
