New Music: beat radio – Weightless

Singer-songwriter Brian Sendrowitz and his band have been creating music under the name beat radio since 2005. Their new single Weightless, will feature on the upcoming Real Love album – their sixth in total – which is out this week.

Taking elements of Americana, vintage College radio, and melodic alt.rock, Weightless is a rarare and delicate gem. Deeply personal and highly reflective, the song sees Sendrowitz explore the nature of masculinity and how it changes with time, and the need to see beyond ourselves to discover our true selves. Fans of R.E.M. and Sparklehorse will find a lot to love in the music of beat radio.

Sendrowitz says he wrote the song after taking stock of who he was as a man, husband, and father. Taking aim at the damaging impact of patriarchal structure at large, it was really important for Sendrowitz to acknowledge that he’s benefited from things being the way they have, and see that it’s his responsibility to disarm the “weapons I was born with and the ones I took on.”

You can order Real Love in vinyl, digital, and cassette editions on Bandcamp. For more information on beat radio and the LP, check out beat radio via their Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram socials.
