“Hair” was written just a week before the Portland, OR trio OGRE went into the studio—a sweetly silly, scattershot piece. “It’s about the biological relevance of hair growing on heads and crotches—it kind of came out gross.” Musically, the track also underscores the power of the band’s two-bass attack.

“I never set out deliberately to write in a particular genre – I don’t do pastiche. I don’t wake up thinking, “Today I’m going to write a song in the style of George Brassens.” But it’s usually clear from very early on (my songwriting process almost always starts with a phrase or line of words and music that arrive together), what the overall sound of the song is going to be, and what sort of arrangement it needs.” – Jessica Griffin

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.
