THE RADAR STATION
Share New EP with acoustic versions "Songs for the Half-Light"

20 november -Live @ De Amer - Amen (NL)
21 november - Live @ Cultuurcafé Lucienne - Lint (BE)

Now the melancholic indie rockers of The Radar Station release their third EP of 2026. "Songs for the Half-Light" is an EP featuring four unique acoustic versions of songs from the second album, "Birds of Choice". But it is much more than that: the EP heralds a new direction for The Radar Station.

They sound more fragile, more authentic and more intimate, leaving more room to breathe for the warm timbre of Brent Buckler's voice. Their sound as a band has been distilled to its essence: melancholic and mesmerizing.

With the talented Benjamin Hermans on bass clarinet and baritone sax, regulars Robbe Broeckx (drums) and Toon Rumen (double bass), and companion Sander Cliquet (backing vocals, guitar, soundscapes). Brent Buckler (vocals, guitar) handled the recording, production and mixing himself.

The artwork was created by Lara Gasparotto, a photographer from Liège who has developed a distinctive visual language in which intimacy, mysticism and raw beauty come together.

Tracklist

1. Right Through Me (in the half-light)
2. Somewhere Out There (in the half-light)
3. Fortune Fades (in the half-light)
4. Electric Sea (in the half-light
   
   Previously The Radar Station released "So Many Faces", a 3-track EP with reimagined versions of three songs of The Radar Station's successful second album 'Birds of Choice' (2025) and "Live at Room 13" an EP with live tracks of the same album.
