Comment: The album will probably become notable after it has been released and reviews come out. Wait until after then before resubmitting or publishing the draft yourself. Mach61 12:46, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Spell Blanket is the upcoming fourth demo album by British indie electronic group Broadcast. It is scheduled to be released May 3, 2024, through Warp Records.[1] This album marks the fourth posthumous release by Broadcast after lead singer Trish Keenan's death in 2011[2], and the final release of new material from the group.[3]
Background[edit]
In September 2023, group member James Cargill announced on Facebook that he would be issuing a collection of previously unreleased demos in early 2024.[4] In March 2024, Warp Records announced the release of two demo albums: Spell Blanket in May 2024, and Distant Call in September 2024.[5] These two releases are to be the final material released by Broadcast. Spell Blanket is to comprise of unreleased demos by Keenan recorded to 4-track tapes and MiniDiscs that were intended for the follow-up to Broadcast's 2005 album Tender Buttons.[6]
The same day of the announcement, a track off each album was released, with Spell Blanket's being a previously unheard song, "Follow the Light".[7] Three other songs could be previously heard on Cargill's SoundCloud account: "The Song Before The Song Comes Out", "Where Are You?", and "Tunnel View".[8]
In April 2024, a new single was released for the album, "The Games You Play". This demo is an vocal version of their instrumental song "DDL", which was featured on their 2006 compilation album The Future Crayon.[9]
