Beat Radio

Received an email the other day from Beat Radio after I posted their (amazing) song "Treetops". They emailed to let me know that they have just posted their entire new album on the web for free. Honestly, just go get it now.

I'm not going to kill myself trying to describe their sound (melody and harmony-adorned shoegaze-lite, slow builds, layered guitars, emotional not emo, timeless). Beat Radio remind me of that little downtown boutique shop that my wife drags me into and I realize that even though I don't really have a clue about the sartorial wonders of the world, there is something different going on there. No, none of that belabored hip or cool. And definitely no hideous thrift-store rehashs. Just that sense of the familiar yet with the freshest of twists.

These guys write classic songs and I love that. This will be the underappreciated album of the year.

Beat Radio - "Everything Is Temporary".
Beat Radio - "Mexico".

Beat Radio - "Fearful".
