Cassette
Edition of 200
Release Date: May 20, 2014

Message Centre is Brave Radar's first new album in 5 years, marking a recent re-entry for the minimalist pop group who have been recording and playing together since 2006. The 8-song EP was recorded at home over a span of two months, based on demos dating from 2012. Message Centre features songs about cars, nightmares, and office life.

Co-leaders Conor Prendergast and Tessa Smith re-imagine Sun Ra’s harmonies as AM gold; they find new things under the sun in sub-textual readings of Beach Boys classics; they abscond with John Barry’s spy guitars; they find naivist genius in somewhat "off" devotional music; they conjure the driving pulse of Ricky Wilson-era B-52’s; they surf the alpha waves of placid 50s island exotica; they wring melody and poetry from Lizzy Mercier Descloux’s fiery no-wave.

All songs were written and recorded by Conor Prendergast and Tessa Smith. Mastered by Richard White at Breakglass.

Years ago I saw someone play the game made to promote this, ever since then this song's been a main part of my high school life. 6 years later I'm here to give some back. Thank you for the good times, Jerry. milquetoasty

I love these tracks and have been listening to them for years now. Psychedelic garage pop. As if the Feelies played extremely slow and filled the space with stimulating chords, effects, hooks, and choruses. We need new music please. Diego A. Torres
