About Me |
|
Planet Silence, the debut album from radars, (risen from the ashes of the Michael Rattray Allstars), hits all points north, east, south and west of the musical compass. By turns hysterical, poignant, heartfelt and wonderfully observed, this set of songs shows Michael Rattray and Gavin Kelly's brilliance at capturing the full range of human emotion, from fool to star struck lover.Never afraid to let it all hang out, from broken hearted entreaties to simple, quiet love songs, these tunes are made to remind you of the frailties we all encounter sometime in our lives.Clear vocals, sweetly sung with conviction and belief, they cover subjects from the drudgery of the 9-5, to dating a super model. Never overly sentimental, there's a sometimes biting reflection of our modern lives, reminding us that we all share the same experiences. Acoustically rendered, smart harmonies, the simplicity and beauty of this album shines through."Radars are compelling from the get-go. Michael Rattray’s crisp and clear vocals pull you in and refuse to let you go. There’s no pretension or posing here. Radars play songs you feel like singing along to on their first listen".Tom Brogan, Artrocker www.artrocker.comTheir influences range from Nirvana to Michael Jackson to Nick Drake so its not surprising that each song seems to live in its own little world quite diverse from the last.Michael and Gavin from radars have always enjoyed stripping down the songs and performing them acoustically. It sounds nice and they can be quite lazy so it saves them the hassle of proper rehearsal rooms. They have played many gigs this way and supported Sam Brown on 2 of her UK tours. Their debut album “Planet Silence” was released on Genepool Records in the autumn of 2007. It's available in the shops and online everywhere. They are currently working on the follow up to “Planet Silence”. |
