PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING return to Italy in July with a new album

With a new album on the way, the British Public Service Broadcasting are ready to make another stop in Italy Friday 28 July at the Apolide Festival in Vialfré (TO). All ticket info will be published shortly on www.bit.ly/apolidetickets.

J. Willgoose, Esq and Wrigglesworth are the Public Service Broadcasting, a musical duo with a clear mission: to teach the lessons of the past through the music of the future. Audio samples, videos from historical footage and archive propaganda films, combined with live instrumentation are all the tools the British duo uses. After their 2013 debut album, Inform - Educate - Entertain, which debuted at #21 in the UK charts to great critical acclaim, and the second record work The Race For Space, one of the best-selling albums of 2015, are now ready to return with a brand new project. Every Valleythis is the title of the third album by the Public Service Broadcasting, will be released on Friday 7 July by PIAS Recordings and was preceded by the new video and single Progress. Directed by Lucy Dawkins and Tom Readdy, with whom the band worked on the previous Sputnik e Go!, and produced by Yes Please Productions, the video takes an almost playful look at a very serious and pertinent topic, namely mechanisation and its true place in the 'progress' of humanity. The video is inspired by 1960s cold war films and was filmed at a jet engine test facility in Suffolk with a nod to the band's past. In fact the debut track Spitfire talked about the design and construction of the famous fighter aircraft. Progress also respectfully inspired by Kraftwerk.

Public Service Broadcasting's third album Every Valley tells the story of the rise and then fall of the coal mining industry in South Wales. Although it might seem like a niche subject on closer inspection it hints at a much more universal topic: the decline due to globalisation, mechanisation or other factors, of once prosperous but now abandoned and neglected communities across the western world once they became dependent on certain industries. J. Willgoose, Esq. tells: "one of the things that excited me most about working on this new album was the opportunity to collaborate with different musicians. We felt honoured and proud whether it was string players or local artists like Beaufort Male Choir e Haiku Salut or more established artists such as Lisa Jên Brown, Tracyanne Campbell of Camera Obscura and one of our heroes James Dean Bradfield of Manic Street Preachers. They all contributed to enriching and improving our sound and in the end this record is the best we could imagine."
