> Some choice reactions to HAHA Sound:
>
> "(Broadcast) mess with preconceptions by embellishing sweet pop
> melodies with subtly executed electronic freakery
A delicate treat,
> and a potent tonic" The Daily Telegraph
>
> "It works beautifully
a vocalist who humanises the experiment: still,
> true, emotionally constant" The Wire
>
> "There isnt space to do them justice
Like Birminghams answer to
> Françoise Hardy" 5/5 Hot Stars
>
> "Beautifully odd, as any band would be to unite Courtney Love, Bert
> Jansch and Radiohead in awe" GQ
>
> "Why settle for anything less than the best? HaHa Sound is a Mona Lisa
> of an album" 8/10 Vice Magazine
>
> "Can a passion for obscure Morricone soundtracks, European art-house
> cinema and junk shop electronics really be channelled into great pop?
> Drop your avant-guard, for there are few places better to while away an
> hour than with a Broadcast album" Word Magazine
>
> "the band apply sonic colour to pop basics in a way that transcends pop
> and experimental music" The Independent
