Details:
âThe Radio Hour - EP' is a 5-song studio project from Chicago-based singer songwriter Tim Hort. The Illinios Entertainer hailed this studio effort described the as "cutting edge folk" noting its stark and bleak production and powerful vocals. With his ensemble of veteran touring musicians, Hort has played many of the better original venues in the Chicago and Midwest and has several independent CD releases thus far. ("THE RADIO HOUR -EP" is a 5 song release.) Centerstage Chicago called his first CD âa solid collection of pop rock gemsâ. CMJâs New Music Report endorses the band âThe Radio Hourâ as its "A&R PICK." The sound might interest fans of Pink Floyd, âAnimals,â âThe Wall,â or Peter Gabriel âUp,â âUs, or Smashing Pumpkins or Arcade Fire - but with an acoustic feel. Chicagogigs.com describes THE RADIO HOUR as âa mix of dreamlike musings and melancholy stories, dynamic guitars and masterful lyricsâ¦â The CD is self-produced and D.I.Y. Illinois Entertainer writes of THE RADIO HOUR, âterrifically chilling,â while it âsings of homicide, suicide and surviving these unspeakable times.â The CD was engineered by Blaise Barton (credits include Bob Dylan, Ike Reilly and Liz Phair). The Capital Journal Times - Madison writes, âconfessional lyrics, melodic hooks and a dark and sometimes pyschedelic spin. Thatâs Chicagoâs Radio Hour.â If youâre looking for brooding, surreal and an originally retooled mid-70s analog feel, you might want to check the CD out.
