Description

Public Service Broadcasting are pleased to reveal plans for a new EP this November which includes a brand new track Korolev whilst lead single, Sputnik the most dancefloor friendly track on The Race For Space has been remixed by some leading lights in the dance and electronic world.

While Sputnik gathers tension as it carefully builds to its euphoric finish of wonder, new cut Korolev carries a familiar progressive energy with a powerful riff at its core, and quick flashes of a grand brass section.

Korolev, or The Chief Designer as he was referred to at the time, was the talismanic figure spearheading the Russian Space program and the lead designer of Sputnik. His untimely death in 1966 had a huge impact on the outcome of the Soviet battle with the United States to be the first nation to land a man on the Moon.
Sputnik embarks on a new path with Peter Dundovs relentless beat and tightly executed electronic twists whilst echoed words add a dark touch to Eagles & Butterflies house-inspired electro flourishes. Canadians Blond:ish take us on a 12-minute voyage through an unpredictable range of textures, adding a spark to the soft, dazzling beat and creating a sense of nostalgia in the process. Plugger complete the EP, ramping up the intensity of Sputnik as it journeys into an exhilarating groove.

The Race For Space reached #11 in the UK album charts (and #1 in the independent chart) in its first week with 5 weeks in the top 40 and 15 weeks in the top 100 selling over 60k records worldwide since its release at the end of February.
