This was the third studio album from Broadcast, at this point largely a proect of Trish Keenan and James Cargill as a duo, credited on the album as James & Trish. Tender Buttons was also a book of poetry by Gertrude Stein that came out in 1914 – I took a flyer on the album just based on that (and did not know Broadcast before) but it is really wonderful.

The vinyl releases have a slightly different track order than the CDs or streaming.

My copy is the 2025 Vinyl Me Please “20th Anniversary” edition on magenta & cyan vinyl, in the Essentials Track. It’s a great package and sounds wonderful.
