New Single From Broadcaster To Feature Peggy Seegar

• 17th Oct 2012

Bad Bad Girl is the second single from Broadcaster’s acclaimed album ‘Folksploitation’ featuring folk icon Peggy Seeger.

Released via Red Grape Records (Hafdis Huld / Jake Morley) on November 26th the single is the follow up to First Time Ever, which featured on Janice Long, Chris Hawkins and Dave Gorman radio shows. The new single has already featured on Gideon Coe’s 6 Music Show and Mark Radcliffe’s Radio 2 show.

Seeger’s haunting vocals are set against Broadcaster’s powerful backdrop of swaggering beats and snarling guitars to provide an darkly satisfying and unexpectedly moving twist. ‘Bad Bad Girl’ was originally transcribed from an Alan Lomax recording of Ozella Jones in Florida State Prison in 1936. Hot Dubstep producer Bluze has created a deep and soulful remix that vibrates with barely supressed menace, while the South London Mix has an urban skank influence. Doktor Musik’s DJ Mix reveals a starkness that is perfect for club play.

Broadcaster’s debut album ‘Primary Transmission’ was a reworking of the ground-breaking ‘Radio Ballads’ series. It received glowing reviews from across the music industry and picked up plays on Radios 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 Music.
