Coming Soon….

Over the past ten to twelve months we (The Broken Orchestra) have been working hard. Working hard writing, recording, arranging, mixing and developing a full length LP entitled ‘Shibui’.

It has been a very difficult but extremely enjoyable period in time where we have had the pleasure of working with some very talented musicians, artists and vocalists. You’ll be pleased to know that the album is now finished, mastered and ready to push forward. To kick things off we have signed a deal with P-Vine Records to release the album in Japan (expected some time this summer). We will confirm an actual release date as soon as we have one. In the meantime we will be out and about with various aspects of promo so keep your eyes and ears peeled. If you’re a radio show, magazine who are interested in featuring us, interviewing us or playing our music then please feel free to get in contact.

Until next time,

The Broken Orchestra.

Thanks to the good people at Animated Yorkshire, Broken Pixel and everyone else who helped on the video project. It’s very much appreciated.

For now, we bid you farewell but stay in touch via our Facebook page and please share the video!

Hello everyone and welcome to the latest update from the world of The Broken Orchestra. First things first, sorry for the massive lack of updates! We must try harder. We have been busy in life and music so please read on to see what we’ve been up to…..

New Single Due

The first notable piece of news is that we’re currently putting the finishing touches to our next single. This is our 2nd single in our collection and is shaping up to be quite a tasty release. This single sees The Broken Orchestra collaborate with vocal queen Anna Stott. Anna is a very interesting and soulful young lady and will hopefully be a firm fixture of The Broken Orchestra camp for years to come!
For more on Anna  click here. Audio snippets and accompanying video to follow.

Play for Japan

Recently The Broken Orchestra were featured on a fund raising release in order to raise money for The Red Cross Tsunami Fund for Japan. The release was entitled ‘The Sun Still Rises in The East’ and  featured a host of talented artists, producers and music. It was run by A Bridge Too Far Recordings and The Find Magazine and raised a total of £875 for the Tsunami fund in Japan. The Broken Orchestra had two tracks featured, an exclusive unreleased track with Lady Paradox entitled ‘Life’ and the first single b-side ‘Shibui’. To stream this release click here.

Broken Video

The Broken Orchestra have been working with the very talented people at Animated Yorkshire to produce video for the upcoming A-side single. Animated Yorkshire is a collection of illustrators, animators and moving image individuals. Together we hope to create a nice backdrop for our new track. Check more on Animated Yorkshire here.
