The Radar Station is back with a brand new single 'Big Big Town'

5 years after their debut album 'Life Inside A Tornado', Nieuwe Lichting Winners (2020) 'The Radar Station' return with a fresh new single called 'Big Big Town'. The song is about feeling lonely in a city overrun with people. A city that attracts young people by its shininess, but where a harsh reality can be found around every corner. It's about how important it is to be look out for each other while the city continues its hectic course.

For the music video the band went for a vintage style and approach, created by Brian van Es and Luc Gommers, the whole video was shot analog on 16mm black-and-white film using a Russian camera from the 1970s. To top it off, the film was developed in an old Nazi factory in Berlin. The clip exudes a raw, nostalgic atmosphere that captures both the loneliness and the chaos of urban life. The city, never entirely full nor completely empty, feels both overwhelming and suffocating.

More about The Radar Station

The Radar Station emerged in 2017 from the musical collaboration between brothers Brent Buckler (vocals, guitar) and Sander Cliquet (guitar, backing vocals, synths), creating a distinctive blend of indie rock with cinematic soundscapes. Their sound has always been full of ambition, intensity and raw emotion - drawing inspiration from artists like The National, The War on Drugs, Sam Fender, Nick Cave and Big Thief.

In 2020, they won De Nieuwe Lichting, Belgium’s top music contest, launching their debut album Life Inside A Tornado, which hit the airwaves on stations like Studio Brussel, Radio 1, Willy and Radio 2. With sold out shows at venues like AB, Trix and Het Depot and appearances at festivals including Dranouter and Labadoux, The Radar Station made its mark in the Belgian indie scene.

With drummer Robbe Broeckx, bassist Toon Rumen, and percussionist Wes Verschoren rounding out the lineup, The Radar Station has evolved far beyond the band you first heard in 2020.
