This morning at 9 a.m. Broadcast signer Trish Keenan passed away from complications of pneumonia. After battling the illness for two weeks in the hospital, Keenan has lost her fight. Warp Records, the band’s label, released this statement earlier today:
“It is with great sadness we announce that Trish Keenan from Broadcast passed away at 9am this morning in hospital. She died from complications with pneumonia after battling the illness for two weeks in intensive care. Our thoughts go out to James, Martin, her friends and her family and we request that the public respect their wishes for privacy at this time. This is an untimely tragic loss and we will miss Trish dearly – a unique voice, an extraordinary talent and a beautiful human being. Rest in Peace.”
We’re not sure if there is any other way to say it, but Happy Grizzly Bear Day! Really, has anyone talked about anything else all day besides the release of ‘Veckatimest’? We haven’t been able to have a conversation all day without someone mentioning it.
‘Veckatimest’ is an album that is rich with one impressive song after another. It gets better with every listen and truly takes you on a musical journey. This is by far Grizzly Bear’s best album yet, and is definitely the year’s most anticipated indie record. Not to call early shots just yet, but this is sure to be headed to many ‘Top Albums Lists of 2009’.
