Radar Bros 'Auditorium' Out: Monday 25th February
That's right, you can get your hands on the Radar Bros. brilliant new album 'Auditorium' from Monday. Featuring Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie radio favourite, 'Lake Life' and soon to be released acoustic charmer 'Morning Bird', 'Auditorium' is a shimmering, sun-dappled collection of Californian alt-folk, for lovers of Grandaddy, Pink Floyd and Neil Young. This is the Radar Bros. fourth album on Chemikal Underground and we all think it's one of their best. "Auditorium sounds like an AM radio melting in the California sun " popmatters.com [8/10]

'Auditorium' by the Radar bros.
'Auditorium' by Radar Bros. coming February 25th... The fantastic new Radar Bros. album is released towards the end of february, with the Digital Download single 'Lake Life' already starting to pick up plays on Radio 1 with Rob Da Bank giving it a spin on Sunday night. Chemikal Underground will be releasing 'Auditorium' around the world with the exception of North America where our inestimable friends at Merge will be doing the honours. We think 'Auditorium' serves as an emphatic reminder of why we loved the Radar Bros. so much in the first place and what better way to remind everyone else how good they are by posting a free track up on our site for you to download...

'Warm Rising Sun' by Radar Bros. (mp3 / 3.3Mb)

For those of you who are cosmopolitan enough to live in LA, the Radar Bros. are playing a weekly residency at The Echo Lounge every Monday in January. And in case that isn't enough, well, here's the video for their US single "When Cold Air Goes To Sleep". We're saying nothing, just watch it...totally priceless.
