Hello! Just a quick update this time. We have a lot to say but no time to say it, so here goes.
New Single due July/August
The new single from The Broken Orchestra will be available late July/ early August time. The A-side features a track entitled ‘Closer’ with some lovely vocals from Leeds based Anna Stott (EPRC) and will hopefully brighten up your summertime a little. The single will be available as digital download as well as on 7″ vinyl format. This will be the second Broken Orchestra 7″ to add to the collection.

As mentioned in a previous update, we’ve been working with the very talented people at Animated Yorkshire who have been grafting away working to our very vague outlines and overblown ideas to try and create something fitting of our upcoming single ‘Closer’. We’re glad to reveal that we think they’ve managed it! And here it is. Check the link below.
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!

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.
