Emerging: Beat Radio
Sep 21, 08
"I made you a mixtape/ Okay, it's not a tape at all/ But it's full of sad songs/ that make summer feel like fall". Thus begins "Teenage Anthems For The Drunken Boat", the first song from Beat Radio's Sunday Matinee EP, a three-song vignette of lo-fi indie pop, sparse electronics, a thriving backbeat and the lyrics and tonal embodiment of all these things in singer-songwriter Brian Sendrowitz. The songs make us coo and take deep breaths, the kind of feeling we get when a masterpiece is witnessed. Much like genre forefathers like Luna or Moonbabies, the joy is just from listening, even if there's more sadness than joy within the songs themselves. With the changing of seasons full upon us these days, we welcome Beat Radio into our arms, like a just-finished scarf or a steamy cup of hot chocolate.
