No Broadcast are proud to announce the release of their live recording sessions titled Dilana After Hours, due 31st May 2016 to celebrate the end of NZMM.
Live recording, Dilana After Hours (J. Braden, K. Colina & C. Self), by No Broadcast. Video filmed, directed and edited by Alex Parsons and audio recorded and mixed by Thom O'Connor in 2015 at Dilana Rugs in Christchurch, New Zealand. Mastered by Kieran Colina.
Hailing from Christchurch, No Broadcast’s impressive mixture of atmospheric, ambient and drone qualities are not easily described without witnessing them first hand. The three-piece Sonic/Post-Rock group’s use of ‘filmic’ textures may be reminiscent of HDU, Jakob and Kerretta, yet their influences span across all spectrums of Rock, Alternative and Electronics past. Originally performing under the moniker Anthesiac, the newly christened No Broadcast, spent most of 2014 touring the country in support of their genre defying self-titled debut. Establishing themselves as a formidable act both live and on record, their lengthy nationwide release tour did little to dispel rumours that No Broadcast were indeed one of the most creative, versatile and punishingly loud acts in the country. Since their return to the garden city No Broadcast have been back in the studio recording their second studio album titled The Blueprint, released December 2015. Although their new material continues the vast atmospheric and ambient qualities No Broadcast are best known for, The Blueprint delves headfirst into the experimentation of new instruments and recording techniques resulting in a expansive, dynamic album one minute laden with soft textures, the next a brutalising ‘in your face’ sonic wall-of-noise.
In late 2015 No Broadcast were asked to perform a special acoustic showcase for Christchurch's new rehearsal space in conjunction with Chart. This performance was filmed and released independently on YouTube. Then over summer 15'/16' they toured their new material around New Zealand and Victoria, Australia. After some massive shows (Feature slots at River Range Fest & Feastock!) they have found some time to finalise and release their live recordings at Dilana Rugs in Christchurch, New Zealand.
No Broadcast have always followed a DIY and experimental attitude towards recording and production process. For this project they had the opportunity to use a designer rug workshop and gallery that guitarist Josh Braden is employed at as a fine arts textile technician. The workshop presented a wonderful acoustic environment that was also visually stunning featuring a variety of artists works in the background of the videos.
