Broken Records

Broken Records hail from Scotland, which has produced two of the more anthemic indie-rock bands of the moment in Frightened Rabbit and The Twilight Sad. Though frontman Jamie Sutherland has opted to lose his accent when he bellows, Broken Records’ formula is still very much in line with those bands, borrowing liberally as well from the dynamics of Arcade Fire and even more so, 4AD labelmate The National. In fact, much of Let Me Come Home, its second full-length, unfolds like a workshop in recent indie-rock anthemcraft: lofty guitar textures, vintage string flourishes, and dour low-end.
