Under the Radar
Under the Radar Mag debuts new single + video – “Involuntary Adventures” – from Paige Su, calling it “a document of heartache, chaos, and Su’s attempts to find meaning in the noise.”
“Involuntary Adventures” is a document of heartache, chaos, and Su’s attempts to find meaning in the noise. She opens the track with a tribute to another artist who captures beauty in pain (“I’ve been listening to Jeff Buckley / He captures beautifully / The heartache I’ve been feeling), and then goes on to reflect on the dangers and allure of love (“Love is dangerous / It entangles us / In these irresistible involuntary adventures”). Meanwhile, Su’s breathy vocals mesh into an instrumental that is equal parts nervy and propulsive, marrying a jazz-tinged bassline with electronic trip hop beats.

Under the Radar premieres SeepeopleS’ new video “Shame”
New LP Field Guide For Survival In This Dying World Out October 7th
SeepeopleS is the politically-charged indie project led by Portland-based singer/songwriter and producer Will Bradford. The band have been making their way through the indie underground for decades, taking a fluid approach to genre lines but uniting their diverse stylistic instincts with a strident topical edge. Later this year, they’re set to return with their sixth LP, Field Guide For Survival In This Dying World, and they’ve been teasing the album with a series of singles, including their latest release, “Shame,” premiering with Under the Radar.
“A fluid approach to genre lines but uniting their diverse stylistic instincts with a strident topical edge. ‘Shame,’ takes its inspiration from the dark realities of modern life. Bradford weaves a muted confessional, one that cuts deep as it explores the shame of a country that lets its children live under the continual threat of violence. This song goes out to all the lonely scared kids in this world – I hope they know they’re not alone.”
