Review: Broadside – Nowhere, At Last

Broadside - Nowhere, At Last
Adam Grundy

The fifth studio album from Broadside, called Nowhere, At Last, is a great mix of styles that the band has tinkered with over the past few efforts. Into The Raging Sea marked a dramatic, and darker turn in the band’s sound, while Broadside’s previous album of Hotel Bleu found them painting with broad and colorful strokes. Nowhere, At Last seems most comfortable brooding in the darkness, as marked by the color aesthetic used in the album cover art and their recent music videos. The music itself found on this record is vibrant, and it blends great guitar parts over electronic elements to keep things at their most engaging and interesting. Lead vocalist Oliver Baxxter continues to improve his vocal performance all over this LP that is brimming with great thematic elements, thoughtful lyrics, and impressive songwriting.

Digital Music News:

Numerous jazz musicians, including American pianist Jason Moran, and Danish musicians Carsten Dahl, Thomas Blachman, and Chris Minh Doky, face a deluge of AI-generated tracks—often entirely unrelated to their own work—uploaded to their official streaming profiles without consent.

“There’s not even a piano player on this whole damn record,” Moran, the former artistic director for jazz at the Kennedy Center, remarked on an EP titled For You. The fake album appeared on his Spotify profile and was brought to his attention by another musician friend. “It wasn’t even remotely close to anything I would make.”
