Trish Keenan, lead singer of the British indie/electronica group Broadcast, died today of pneumonia following a swine flu infection. Associated with Stereolab, the band had a similar psych-pop-esque sound, if a bit more electronic and sample heavy. Having released some of their earliest work on Stereolab’s Duophonic label, the band found a more permanent home on Sheffield’s reknowned Warp records. Broadcast really deserved their reputation as one of the best bands the UK has produced in the last 15 years, and I guess that Ms Keenan’s death spells the end for them. Very sad news indeed.
