3 Sources of Broadcast's Retro-Futurist Sound

1960s psychedelia The band drew heavily from the psychedelic rock of the 1960s, using its hazy textures and melodic structures as a foundation.

Library music They incorporated library music—stock recordings made for TV and film—which gave their songs a dated, cinematic quality.

Early electronic experimentation Early electronic music provided the synthetic tones and unconventional arrangements that define their retro-futurist aesthetic.
