Radio Anorak

“A lucid dream of guitar and drum orchestrated and conducted by the spidery arms of foil-hat wearing rebels. A sonic decoupage of grifting bass, beat poetry and espresso shot-downing guitar licks. Nothing makes sense, it’s not supposed to, but it sure sounds like something that ought to.” God Is In the TV

irected by musician Toma Sapir (Daisy Rickman, Wax Machine, Heka, Anona, Nina Winder-Lind) and visual artist Hugo Winder-Lind, Radio Anorak played their first show in December opening for The New Eves and they have wasted no time in releasing their full-length debut. 

Home-recorded across a handful sessions in a cabin in Lewes, left to gather dust in Ableton before being unearthed, chopped up, and arranged,  Rememberer’s 33-minute span fuses field recordings, synthesisers, strings and found instruments with Ivor Cutler-esque spoken word to build a landscape of ephemeral childhood memory in a vast mythological vision of the British Isles

Tapping into improvisational folk, ambient and krautrock (see lead single ‘Sword of Moses’ for the latter), Radio Anorak are witty, playful, yet determinedly sincere. Lifted up by their nostalgic romanticism, their world is also an ineluctably modern one of economic inequalities, discount supermarkets, and post-pandemic online culture.

Rememberer is set for physical release via underground cassette-only label Party’s Over today (17th February)
