Description
"This four-piece indie band from San Francisco mixes infectious melodies with earnest lyrics and lush steel guitar. Pirate Radio's new release 'Welcome Home' is now available through Itunes, Rhapsody, Napster, CD Baby, and others. Self-recorded onto cassette tape and later embellished in Hi-Fi, the sound is not only unique, but quite endearing. An Americana backdrop is layered with an analogue palate, adding just enough sonic icing to the cake without distracting from the songs themselves. The album opener, 'Stealing Hours,' is energetic yet down-home. Acoustic guitars juxtapose horn hooks and frenzied guitar dynamics. The sweet nostalgia and soft-pulsing rhythm of 'Let It Go' recalls Bruce Springsteen's 'I'm On Fire.' 'Lodestar' falsettos with Neil Young delicacy, adding a distinct syncopation and warm Moog."- cafedunord.com
