Haha Sound is the second studio album by English indie electronic band Broadcast, released on 11 August 2003 through Warp Records, blending experimental pop, dream pop, and psychedelic electronica into a dizzying, atmospheric soundscape. Recorded in fragments across unusual locations—including Trish Keenan’s vocals tracked inside a cardboard box for intimacy and Neil Bullock’s drums captured in a church—the album features standout tracks like “Pendulum,” “Before We Begin,” and “Man Is Not a Bird.” It earned widespread critical acclaim, reaching the top 10 of the Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums chart in the U.S., and was later recognized by Pitchfork as one of the best albums of the 2000s and by The Guardian in its “1000 Albums to Hear Before You Die.” The record’s mix of retro-futurist textures, avant-pop experimentation, and Keenan’s ethereal vocals cemented Broadcast’s reputation as one of the most innovative acts of their era.
