Since 2008, the pair have been releasing a wealth of music\u00a0under the name\u00a0on\u00a0Fixture Records, a label they run out of their apartment that has been\u00a0responsible for some of the earliest releases from Homeshake, Dirty Beaches, Sheer Agony and Freelove Fenner. A mainstay of the city&#8217;s thriving but often under-publicized\u00a0community of esoteric guitar pop\u00a0bands, the band\u00a0have played with acts like Mac DeMarco, Slim Twig and US Girls, while developing a reputation as one of hidden treasures of the Canadian DIY scene.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Lion Head,&#8217;\u00a0their forthcoming LP, is a characteristically sibylline distillation of the sound they have been\u00a0crafting over their previous releases. Recorded at The Bottle Garden, Freelove Fenner&#8217;s all-analog studio, the album take a\u00a0minimalist approach, weaving a multi-referential tapestry that is\u00a0centered by a glacial, Broadcast-esque restraint, even as it draws in the influence of 60&#8217;s psychedelia, the film scores of composer Ennio Morricone, and the artier ends of early 80&#8217;s new wave.<\/p>\n<p>The band has premiered, <em>Moves in Time<\/em>, the album&#8217;s first single. The track encapsulates\u00a0the broad scope and understated nature of Brave Radar&#8217;s approach, finding a space that is both\u00a0propulsive and atmospheric by\u00a0juxtaposing an\u00a0energetic arrangement with swelling vocal harmonies and the detached delivery\u00a0of vocalist Tessa Smith.\u00a0According to\u00a0the band the track was the result of a deliberate attempt to foster such a\u00a0contrast.

It wasn&#8217;t going to be on the album, but at the last minute we realized it needed to be there.\u00a0When\u00a0writing it\u00a0we deliberately tried to piece together contrasting, spare elements. That&#8217;s how we came up with the running, propulsive bassline and drums, in contrast to the swaying, half-time vocals and rhythm guitar accents. Recording it like we did at the Bottle Garden (our first proper recording in a studio) allowed those elements to each have their own defined space.<br \/>\n<\/em><br \/>\n<em> We were definitely influenced by a certain era of Morricone.
