Radar Brothers

Brothers only in the sense that “We’re all brothers, man,” the Radar Brothers (guitarist Jim Putnam, bassist Senon Williams and drummer Steve Goodfriend) started playing together almost ten years ago. Those sessions became the trio’s debut EP a year later, and since then the Radar Brothers have continued to refine their epic psychedelic-Americana dirges, culminating in last year’s And the Surrounding Mountains. What started out as demos slowly became the finished product, perhaps as slowly as the group’s glacially paced songs evolve. All the Surrounding Mountains has the spirit of California looming large upon it, its stark melodies beating down like the sun.
