RACE FOR SPACE, THE (180GM VINYL)

Public Service Broadcasting return to the airwaves with their sophomore studio release. 'The Race For Space!


Recorded at The Pool Studios and Abbey Road in London and, and once again working with exclusive archive footage from the British Film Institute, Public Service Broadcasting's new record will tell the story of the American & Soviet space race from 1957 - 1972 via the duo's eccentric mix of guitar-driven electronica, propulsive drumming and spoken word samples culled from this uniquely rich period of modern history.


'The Race For Space' follows 'Inform - Educate - Entertain', Public Service Broadcasting's debut album which reached #21 in the UK album charts and was nominated for 'Best Independent Album' at the AIM Awards 2013, as well as being The Guardian's Album of the Week and one of BBC 6Music's Top 10 albums of 2013.


Taking in archive material from a variety of sources the new album sees the corduroy-clad J, Willgoose, Esq, and his faithful drumming companion, Wrigglesworth, continue their mission statement to Inform, Educate & Entertain, Through both the record and their uniquely spell-binding live audio-visual 'Transmissions', audiences witness the band weave samples from these films around live drums, guitar, banjo and electronics, creating an array of diverse tracks, What emerges is, by turns, thrilling, moving, funny and powerful.


The album features a double front cover; in keeping with the "space race" theme, one side is a USA cover, and the other the USSR!
