“‘Harley’ is a song about one of our first friends we made after moving to LA. The song more or less wrote itself as the first 2 verses are based on a conversation Harley & I had about a homesick heart. This is not a breakup song. This is a song about sacrifice and new beginnings.” -Sasha Massey

“ I rarely overthink what I write. The only thing that matters to me is what’s in my mind at the moment I sit down to write lyrics for a specific song. The process is almost always the same: I listen to a dictaphone demo of the track and start with a phrase or a word that might have been sung, then build an idea around it.” – Erica Ashleson

Over their eighteen years as a band, Jim Putnam’s Los Angeles based collective Radar Brothers proved to be a model of consistency and melancholic, sun-baked comfort. Defying conventional, perpetual myths that artists must consciously reinvent themselves, a deep dive retrospective at the band’s working class trajectory reveals a singular path on the perennial edge of a larger, opportunistic breakthrough.
