Seven Sisters by Beta Radio
Seven Sisters, the debut album from Beta Radio, is haunting and heart aching. The songs on Seven Sisters take you to a place where love is essential and simple, the landscapes are familiar and ghostly and the stars hold the promise of your future once you learn how to read them. When you leave the album, the minimalistic arrangements and the sincerity of the lyrics stay with you and call you back for another listen.
