Public Service
Broadcasting (PSB) is the corduroy-clad brainchild of London-based J.
Willgoose. Entertaining, Informative and educational, PSB’s spell-binding live
transmissions see them weave samples from old public information films, archive
footage and propaganda material around live drums, guitar, banjo and
electronics: they beam our past back at us through vintage TV sets and
state-of-the-art video projection devices.
After two years up in the
stratosphere with the hugely successful ‘The Race for Space’, tracks from which
featured frequently on the playlist for their Aberdeen performance in His
Majesty's Theatre (HMT), PSB are returning to Earth. On their new album 'Every
Valley', we are taken on a journey down the mineshafts of the South Wales
valleys. Although 'Every Valley' is the story of just one industry, the tales
of a disenfranchised working class in this age of agitation and turmoil could
not be more relevant. Although the concept is localised and historical,
Willgoose hopes the story is "applicable to industries all over the
western world and possibly beyond, in the way that the Industrial Revolution generated
these communities that were so dependent on one particular industry. What
happens to that community when you remove that industry from it? Where does
that leave us now?"
I felt that the noise
level in HMT was oppressive; the lack of leg-room, the heat and dry ice made
the gig a rather uncomfortable experience.
'Every Valley' was the top
selling album in indie record stores in July.
