No Broadcast Release Sonic Post-Alternative Album ‘Lie in Orbit’

With four years in the making, No Broadcast’s third full-length album Lie In Orbit follows three singles released on Bandcamp. Today, available on all streaming platforms Lie In Orbit is an 8 track, sonic, post-alternative record that gives you the choice to lie down or lie in orbit and let go.

”Musically and lyrically it speaks of the concept that we are bound to a long lineage of perception which operates a veil of illusions, conditions and thought structures”

”It touches on the nature of duality that we as conscious beings sit on the knifes edge of – two realities, along with the discomfort that manifests in the state of prolonged indecision”

The Musical manifestation of No Broadcast, spawns out of the environmental and external influences of Christchurch’s  offerings both good and bad. They combine this particular cultural perspective with a musical experience that taps into the likes of Jakob, Mogwai, Radiohead, Sigur Ros, HDU and the Mars Volta. Their sound on record is surpassed only by their live performance.

In 2007 No Broadcast started to appear on posters, in reviews, and on the NZ music scene as a band with the ability to move audiences with their emotive, free-flowing music. Audiences have witnessed this as they have performed extensively over the past eight years, playing various festivals and shows nationwide with local and national artists. They have played alongside rockers Beastwars, post-punk heavyweights Die! Die! Die!, Bauhaus, Skinny Hobos, Clap Clap Riot, Mountain Eater (former HDU members), internationally renounced six-piece An Emerald City and Jakob.

They self-produced their 1st EP, Null & Void, released in the spring of 2011. The release was well received in the press and garnered glowing reviews and airplay on national radio. The EP was recorded in a garage, converted to a recording space. This space lent itself to the creation of a unique new sound. It led the band to further development and experimentation, focusing on the cross-pollination of songwriting and soundscape recording techniques. This focus is still present in the band’s later releases. No Broadcast then embarked on a small nationwide tour followed by countless gigs in Christchurch and Dunedin.

In 2013 the band kept behind the scenes but the name did make it overseas as frontman Josh Braden spent time in the UK playing a handful of shows in London and Bristol.

After the release of 2014’s highly praised album (eponymous), along with extensive touring, the band set out to record their second studio album, The Blueprint, released Dec 2015. More touring saw No Broadcast reach Melbourne playing several shows around the city.

Amongst the touring of The Blueprint record, the group had started writing and live rehearsing a bunch of new ideas and sounds at their live gigs. Showcasing a new refined yet raw high energy sound that set the way for yet another record. Recording for this new material began in august of 2016.

Lie In Orbit Is the biggest musical project taken on by the band as it took 4 years from start to finish. Plans to release and tour Lie in Orbit in 2020 were halted by the pandemic. It’s finally here.
