With a little bit of David Gray and a little bit of Sunny Day Real Estate, Shortwave Radio have a sound that seems to tow the line between indie rock and pure unadulterated pop. And as you listen to ‘Cardiac’ you’ll see that they take these two sounds and blend them into a song that is stunning. With their use of layered strings, Shortwave sounds thick and lush, yet the lyrics remain personal and intimate. “All I wanted was someone to mend my broken heart”, singer Andy Spilburg sings in the chorus. ‘Cardiac’ belongs on a soundtrack to a rainy Sunday afternoon.
