Sitting down with NPR last week, Broken Records talked about their music (how they’re a rock group and not a folk band), the difference between Glasgow and Edinburgh (one’s a rough old town and the other is all fur coat and nae knickers, as the saying goes), and the cinematic visions that lay behind their debut and sophomore records (Apocalypse Now in the case of Until the Earth Begins To Part). The band also discussed the recent developments that have led to their shrinkage from a 7-piece to a rather less epic 6-piece group (while keeping a clammy grasp on their trademark “anthemic” sound).
