Radar Brothers Music Group

Like the country-rock freakouts of Beachwood Sparks or the sprawling psychedelia of the defunct Grant Lee Buffalo, the Radar Brothers' moody, vivid music is deeply rooted in hidden parts of Los Angeles and its surroundings. Some have labeled the band's austere, impressionistic folk-rock depressing, but leader Jim Putnam doesn't see it that way.
