"The Radar Bros are capable of creating some of the most beautiful, relaxing music I've ever heard, and the lazy tempos are never more apparent than on their debut self-titled LP.The first track "Lose Your Face Again" is a wonderful track, but it can be difficult to listen to because it is the absolutely slowest song I have ever heard. (I would imagine sloths would get impatient listening to it.)The album continues with several tracks that give a mood unlike any I've heard on a record before. With each listen, I hear a mix of sadness, acceptance, laziness, and relaxation all wrapped up into one. These aren't the only moods I feel, however, the other ones haven't the name to describe them.Highlights of the album include Wise Mistake of You, the sad "Stay", and Underwater Culprits. The final track "Goddess", though, is not only by far the best track on the album, but remains my favorite Radar Bros song over all. It is also the perfect endcap to a great CD.If you are in the mood for slow, soothing melodies, the Radar Bros are a good band to turn to. Fans of the Singing Hatchet and And the Sorrounding Mountains will enjoy this album if they are willing to listen to the band play even slower than they do now."
