Distracting Strangers by Brave Radar
by Fixture RecordsBrave Radar is Conor Prendergast (Sydney, Australia) and Tessa Smith (Halifax, NS). Distracting Strangers is the first full-length release from this Montreal-based pop duo. With two guitars and kitchen sink drums, they built shambolic ditties that captivate and mess about with a jarring stickiness.

glad you’re liking it risa. also, thanks for the shout out on the radio. our drummer mentioned at practice today that he’d heard it and we had an “aww friends” moment.
tyler did some initial mixing when we first finished recording, but in the end we went back and mixed the whole thing ourselves as we recorded the last few songs. not because he did a bad job (dude is the mix master) but we felt more capable of making it sound like us.

me too! you’d think we were loud and crazy or something, which is odd given we’re actually demure. looks like you’re saying “give me your birthday cake dickens!!” and i’m singing happy birthday to me for the 16th time.
