LATVIAN RADIO has created their own brand of critically acclaimed indie-power pop since their 2006 debut âHappiness Above A Hardwood Floorâ. Their latest four releases all ended up on Best Album Of the Year lists in various publications from the Big Takeover Magazine to Absolute Powerpop. They have also been a college radio mainstay frequently charting in the CMJ top 200.
Their new and sixth album âPick Your Poison, Pick Your Bluesâ sonically blends power pop, punk, new wave and britpop. It has the endless melodic hooks you have come to expect but is equally fueled by a dark and weary undercurrent in the wake of a world that canât get out of its own way.
The press has linked Latvian Radio to the likes of Elvis Costello & the Attractions, the Replacements, the Shins, the Decemberists, New Pornographers, Big Star and early REM.
