Leonard & Roger turn The BBC Years into a corporate-video séance from the post-punk basement

Leonard & Roger’s The BBC Years arrives on 28 June through itswarboys, and it sounds like one of those strange archival objects that somehow feels more dangerous because it has been hiding in plain sight. The release is framed around the personae of Leonard Aspen and Roger Boulding, two supposedly disgraced BBC Radiophonic Workshop engineers, with old corporate-video audio repurposed into something much more jagged and accusatory. The Bandcamp tags point toward DIY, experimental jazz, post-punk and London, which is already a useful little warning label. This is not a polite nostalgia document. It feels like a tape dug out of a filing cabinet after the building was condemned, then played loudly enough for the office furniture to confess. The BBC Years makes bureaucracy sound haunted, capitalism sound ill, and post-punk history feel wonderfully unserious in the best possible way.
