The new Radar Bros record is one of my most anticipated record of the new year. There’s just something about this bands sound that gets under my skin (in a good way). This band somehow has a knack for taking elements from bands like Mercury Rev, Sonic Youth and Yo La Tengo and combining that East Coast aesthetic with a kind of Arizona meets California laziness and haze that makes them one of the most interesting groups out there.
Unfortunately I’ve got nothing to share with you from the upcoming record but here’s the two video’s that are available and a song or two from the back catalog to keep you satisfied `til the new record comes out on Merge in a month or so.
Shifty Lies (from The Singing Hatchet on SeeThru Broadcasting, 1999)
Government Land (from The Fallen Leaf Pages on Merge)
Capital Gain (from s/t debut on Restless, 1996)
“Stay”
“Papillon” (Mp4 iPod ready download link)
