In early 2017, after several years of releasing music as a production only outfit, with appearances from various talented musicians, and with BBC 6Music and Radio 1 airplay under their belt, Pat Dooner and Carl Conway- Davis announced that they would be taking The Broken Orchestra live with the help of Emily Render (Vocals) and Tom Kay (Guitar). This resulted in a sold out debut show in August 2017. The obvious next step was for The Broken Orchestra to follow this line up through to production and recordings. There lies the beginning of the brand new 'Blinded EP'. This release is the first since welcoming new members Emily and Tom Kay to the fold. The EP, Produced and mixed by The Broken Orchestra and mastered by Pete Maher (The 1975, U2, Paul Weller), features 5 brand new tracks which combine the trademark chopped, laid back, melodic trip-hop with ambient textures.
