Brian from the New York band Beat Radio has been a supporter of Can You See the Sunset from the beginning, and it seems that his band’s first full-length The Great Big Sea is finally getting a proper release as an extended CD with Beat Radio’s new EP Miracle Flag added as well.
For those that don’t know, Beat Radio plays (according to the band) teenage anthems for the drunken boat, flea market pop, arena rock for mystics, and ramshackle electro. It is all that and more. The songs of Beat Radio shine with the golden hue of late afternoon. The take electro-pop and filter it through Americana that sounds just like home. It is virtually impossible to resist friendly warble of Brian’s voice and the nostalgic feel of Beat Radio’s songs. It is like jumping into a pile of leaves on a crisp autumn day.
And if all that isn’t enough, you should buy the new Beat Radio album just to hear their song “Treetops.” It is (perhaps) one of my favorite songs ever.
