beat radio reviews.

here are nice things people said about our new album:

"Since 2004, Brian Sendrowitz has quietly churned out album after album of fuzzy rock anthems from his Long Island home, but it wasn't until last December that everything finally seemed to fall into place for his band, Beat Radio, with the release of Golden Age on their vinyl-only, start-up label. Here, grungy psych meets spacey folk—equally informed by Sparklehorse as Buffalo Tom's appearance on My So-Called Life—making as clear an argument as there is against early onset hype." - The L Magazine, 2011 NYC Bands You Need to Hear

“Beat Radio are back, and this time they've picked the sunset out of the sky and strung it onto this song. Golden light spills across guitar frets and kick drums, and everything is all set to get together, like the sunset is going to lead to a brighter day, instead of a deep dark night. There's something fine and astonishing about this kind of songwriting, when the light hits it just right.” –The Torture Garden

We gushed over the electronic tinges and bedroom indie rock pulses of singer/songwriter--and New York native--Brian Sendrowitz's project Beat Radio a little over a year ago now and today brings another fascinating piece of music from him, making us all the more excited for what's to come next.” – The Culture of Me

"Terrific songwriting" - Tympanogram

"If you like bedroom, mellow indie-pop (more upbeat than The Postal Service, less ADD than Phoenix) you should definitely give these guys a chance. They have a bandcamp page where you can pick up a couple tracks for free, but if you want one of the 300, hand-numbered GOLD 12” discs, you should grab it now before these guys are no longer just a New Band of the Week blog post." - Anna Krukowska, Insound Staff Blog

"For me, to even think of a band in the same brain wave as Yo La Tengo, or Wilco, really really says something...I can’t remember the last time I’ve been so excited about a band." -Quit Mumbling

“Golden Age” perfectly sums up Sendrowitz’s general M.O. –acoustic guitar almost drowned out beneath clattering drums and effortlessly integrated electronics, sugar-sweet lovelorn lyrics layered on top like the icing on a cake. It’s simple and effective enough to earworm its way right into your head and never come out." -Pretty Much Amazing

"Dreamy electro-rock that just kinda pulls you out of the cold, no, that’s not right… it kinda picks you up and floats you through the cold...it’s one sweet album by a wonderful band." -Tsururadio

“Heavy layers of sonic asphalt peel back to reveal solid cobblestone songwriting.” - yvynyl

"Sendrowitz purposefully recorded the album spontaneously and on the fly, minimizing the glistening, inorganic sheen of overproduction. What's left in it's place is a testament to pure talent and emotion speaking for itself." - ThoseWhoDig.net

“Sendrowitz exists in the new, modern luminosity, somewhere between being someone everyone knows and being an unknown that a few people are desperately loyal to.” – 32 Feet Per Second
