No-Source Netlabel is pleased to bring you the re-release of Background Radiation's debut EP. The amusingly titled "False Start" was originally released in 2008 on Jog/Shuttle. The 2012 version has been recently remastered and contains a previously unreleased bonus track. This new track, titled "Recovery Basin," is based upon elements from their 2010 track "Discovery Basin." "Discovery Basin" can be found on No-Source's debut compilation "Hey You, Choose Your Own Adventure." Like Background Radiation's second EP, "Moot Point," "False Start" combines acoustic instruments with downtempo electro-pop experimentalism. The False Start EP starts with Real Air To Use, a song Thievery Corporation would be proud of. Second is Living Twice, apparently on the acoustic end of the spectrum but with some sonic surprises. Getting There is a little glitchy folk song, followed by Big Basements which reminds me of Belle and Sebastian and even an odd Pet Shop Boys song which I canβt pinpoint now. But I digress. Grains of Film returns us to a more analog and ambient feeling of times long past (close your eyes for your own instant music video). The much too short EP closes with Rosemary, sort of returning to the reverberating sound of the beginning.
