Totally love "Echo's Answer." Discovered it by accident in a sale bin--had never heard of them before that.

awful news to wake up to, i love 'the noise made by people' so much. RIP

Such awful news. I've seen them live countless times, going right back to a few dates around the release of their first 7-inch. I feel for their manager, Martin "Pikey" Pike, who is also Stereolab's manager and has now lost both Trish and Mary Hansen.

It's this combination of technology as familiar constant while her look and dress conveying something serene, mystic and old. Makes me think of Coil, in a way.

Thanks, Ned--well put. RIP Trish.

jesus, this is devastating. her voice was like a blanket when life was shitty and confusing. She was like warm apparition that melted cold, technological burdens into something friendly and familiar. she healed digital sickness.

COSIGN, with emphasis -- this is my fav broadcast tune, and one of my fav songs probably ever.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7-gk_RsIL0
broadcast were, to me, made some of the most consistently compelling music of the last decade. lots of interesting records, new turns and twists in their sound with each, and quality never flagged. trish's voice of course was the constant thread between everything -- the familiar pillow to sink into as the music warped and mutated, went new places and folded back onto itself again. everyone should know and love this band. a stunning, singular talent.
r.i.p.

Dear god, I can't believe that such a thing could happen in this day and age.
Consistently good music, and a beautiful, warm singing voice. Also, they were a great live band back when they were a 5-piece, one of the best bands I've seen. I feel like someone who had much more music to give has been taken away. Fucking awful.

Very well said ilxor, thanks. Just got chills listening to "Echoes Answer".

Saw them touring the first album, Bottom of the Hill, fall/winter 2000-ish?
Was blown away by the VOLUME, sheer decibels, quite a pretty sound that just roared.
My gal at the time was huge into them... I should let her know about this.

One question: didn't they have a long-in-the-works album ready to come out? I wonder if we'll get to hear it..
I hope all the news spurs people to discover this wonderful band.

oh shit!! what a great singer and band.r.i.p
― nakamura, Friday, 14 January 2011 17:07 (thirteen years ago) link
I was most heavily into Work and Non Work and the Focus Group collaboration out of all their stuff. Which I guess just goes to show that their genius managed to span their whole career. Not been able to listen to anything today, I'm just a bit too devastated by this - it's not like, say, Beefheart, where it's a respectful salute to a life, but rather this makes me very very angry and very very upset.
― emil.y, Friday, 14 January 2011 17:09 (thirteen years ago) link
It's true. It is so frustrating when someone with so much potential and so much to give to the world dies before their time.
I feel much the same way as I did when Mary Hansen passed away. It's just way too soon.

this makes me very very angry
It's weird, this is how I feel too! Feel like raving against the world... how could this happen? How? Definitely gonna sip a pint or two for Trish later.

I'm in complete shock, completely gutted.
One of the finest voices and very best bands or recent times.

ned's blog is worth reading all the time imo, but his thoughts on this tragedy are especially worth a few minutes' time (and hooooly shit that run of youtube links at the end-- PHENOMENAL)
― ilxor, Friday, 14 January 2011 17:44 (thirteen years ago) link
RIP. So sad, I remember discovering work and non-work right around 2000, and then proceed to buy everything I could find by them. Saw them live a few times and it was very memorable.In an eerie coincidence, I was writing a poem this morning called "Sudden Loss" while all this was happening. Freaked me out a bit.

I'd like to reiterate what was said above - your piece is wonderful, Ned.

I last saw Trish & James play an improv set at The Vortex Jazz Club in - *checks* - Oct '09 (damn, seems like only a couple of months ago).
They'd just featured on the cover of The Wire (this issue: http://www.thewire.co.uk/articles/3069/). It was a rainy day, on and off, and before their performance they sat quietly, just outside the cafe-bar downstairs, having a coffee, dressed casually and with cagoules on to help ward off the next shower or keep warm - James was even wearing the same sweater he wore for The Wire photoshoot - and looking very anonymous and not at all rock'n'roll (or jazz). Then they went upstairs, set up their own gear, and transformed into the ever-spooky and beautiful other selves for the 20 minutes or so of their set.
My favourite Broadcast recordings have been the more recent ones: they seemed to be slowly refining their sound and reaching for something transformative - and often getting there. God knows what James must be feeling right now.
― Jeff W, Friday, 14 January 2011 18:58 (thirteen years ago) link
xpost yeh that sopunds about right. flatmate was just telling me that she'd seen Trish support Delta as part of a folkish duo called (maybe?) Trish & Jude circa 1993ish, and even then it was obvious this was a hugely talented person.
― zappi, Friday, 14 January 2011 19:42 (thirteen years ago) link
Just found out. Can't really believe it. One of my all-time favorite acts and one who always progressed and pushed their own boundaries. They were always my first reference point when friends ignorantly told me nothing new could be done in music (despite their constant influences from the past). Who will sing my lullabies now?
― Fetchboy, Friday, 14 January 2011 19:56 (thirteen years ago) link
they started out perfect and slowly improved. what a miserable loss. poor trish,

I actually have shed a few tears today, over this person I never even met. It's weird, the power that good music can have over your emotions.
