The lush beauty that envelops you from the opening track of King Radio’s Are You The Sick Passenger is the kind of rare treasure that keeps me listening to music: the constant hope of finding something original and wonderful, truly rewarded. It is a timeless Ben Folds meets Grandaddy; a mellow reflection of the past made modern and real. From the George Harrison-style guitar licks of \"Famous Umbrellas\", to the game show theme \"Intermission\", to the Dusty Springfield cover of \"Am I The Same Girl?\", Are You A Sick Passenger invites you in with open arms to live in its melancholy pop past. It’s OK Computer, were it recorded in the Sixties with an orchestra.
If you like Jon Brion, Grandaddy, and Jellyfish-style melody, and the kind of timeless songs that just aren’t made anymore, look no further than King Radio. For those of us with a love of great classic pop music, it stays true to what we love, adding its own creative stamp. For those uninitiated, it is a gateway opened wide to a world where great lyrics, songwriting, and melody are king-– the world of King Radio.
