More Magic For Your Money

     

If after listening to this album four times in a row you still don’t like it, I’LL refund your money. I’m not as hip as my contemporary big city indie paper music critic counterparts, so I will not create some “sounds-like-shish kebab” sandwiching Rademacher in between Pavement and Minus the Bear. Nevertheless, I will say this: listening to Rademacher is like hearing The Cars for the first time in 1977 or seeing The Talking Heads at the Greek Theatre during their “Speaking in Tongues” tour. That is to say, they are on the apex of what will be a downward rocket toward Nike commercials, Miller High Life sponsored tours, and an inevitable meet and greet with Alan Greenspan. I wouldn’t call Rademacher an indie pop band, but at any one of their myriad shows I’ve seen happy patrons sing along and hollaback as if it were karaoke night.
