Radiator Hospital Brings Sincerity with Their New Track ‘cut Your Bangs’ [stream]

Festooned with the songwriting ethos of early Rilo Kiley and textural modesty of Pavement, Radiator Hospital is back with an even more sincere record, Torch Songs. On “Cut Your Bangs”, Sam Cook-Parrott wraps the intricacies of modern romance in a catchy hook that’s carved out of the shy-and-awkward-boy mold. With relatable lyrics like, “you say you’ll cut your bangs/ I’m calling your bluff/ when you lie to me it’s in the small stuff”, he makes the rest of our bar table lies this summer seem pretty normal.
