THE SONGS THE SEASON BRINGS: VOL. 2 (2012)

Candy Canes! Jelly Beans! Comfort and Joy! “The Songs The Season Brings: Vol. 2” is a collection of classic and original Christmas songs to help celebrate the holiday season - again! This second holiday installment from Beta Radio was recorded at home, in churches and in studios in the fall of 2012. We hope these songs fill your head and warm your heart as you wait for Christmas! (Or for the Mayan apocalypse, in case the 25th never comes - oh my)!

And just like last year, we hope these songs are a joy to you, and will keep you company this season as you're cleaning bathrooms, balancing your check book, strategizing over how best to return those pleated Dockers your mom’s half sister gave you that everyone knows you’re waaay to cool to be wearing, blowing up air mattresses, cooking, laughing, buying AAA batteries for your newest thing, potty training, crying, folding up air mattresses - and everything else the season may bring!

The Songs The Season Brings: Vol. 1 (2011)

“The Songs The Season Brings” is a collection of classic and original Christmas songs to help celebrate the holiday season! This new EP from Beta Radio was made in various environments over the two months before Christmas - recorded in the studio, at home in bedrooms, and in closets of family members while drinking egg nog and roasting chestnuts over a George Foreman grill!

We hope these songs will keep you company this Christmas as you're hanging ornaments, calling relatives, strategizing over where best to place mistletoe for that holiday smooch, paying bills, changing diapers, laughing, buying gifts, crying, eating candy bars and everything else the season may bring. Ho! Ho! Ho!

Many, many thanks to A LOT OF PEOPLE for helping us sing, hoot and hollar on Song 3.

All songs produced by BETA RADIO. They were recorded in our homes and were all written a really long time ago - except for song 2, which was written in the fall of 2011. Drums recorded at Logan Manor Studio by LEE HESTER. Songs 1, 2 and 3 were mastered by DAN COUTANT at Sun Room Audio. Song 4 wasn't mastered at all because it was recorded on a whim, the night before this album's thanksgiving release, in a closet, on 5 mobile phones (so naturally there wasn't any time for that).

1. O Holy Night | 2. The Song the Season Brings 3. Auld Lang Syne | 4. The First Noel (Bonus Track)

Seven Sisters (2010)

Seven Sisters, the debut album from Beta Radio, is haunting and heart aching. The songs on Seven Sisters take you to a place where love is essential and simple, the landscapes are familiar and ghostly and the stars hold the promise of your future once you learn how to read them. When you leave the album, the minimalistic arrangements and the sincerity of the lyrics stay with you and call you back for another listen. -Jason Fry / Deckfight / 2010
