Public Service Broadcasting is deliberate retro-futurism; the sound of a time capsule being strewn across the ether. Existing as a science project foremost, PSB's mission statement of "teach the lessons of the past through the music of the future" rings true amidst its well-cultivated collection of antique radio broadcast samples and krautrock stylings. Equal parts Kraftwerk with guitars and saturday matinee film strips with breakbeats, there are moments this band serves as a self-narrative- using their arsenal of lo-fi samples as lyrics.
The brainchild of one J. Willgoose, Esq., the imagery cultivated is undeniably the sum of its parts- you can imagine hours in library vaults culling over microfilm and lost transmissions to find the perfect selection to accompany the clattering math-rock implosion. With tongue planted firmly in cheek, PSB spends the majority of "Inform Educate Entertain" escalating rollercoasters of sound and percussion with educational aplomb, and it's a ride well worth taking.
