about
Portable Radio are back with more harmony pop and hooks galore with their second album, ‘Counting To Three’.
This follows their eponymous LP which garnered wonderful reviews, with Shindig praising the “uplifting stellar pop songs” and Piccadilly Records saying “Superb!” and “wonderfully listenable.”
‘Counting To Three’ continues apace, adding more magic and every bit a love letter to ‘70s pop and rock.
There’s sharp pop and baroque and jangling guitars, and their trademark harmonies and gear-changes, but now, you’ll also find Philly orchestrations and Dexy’s brass too! Portable Radio took their time and produced the songs themselves to make for a real gem of an album.
You'll find 13 tracks of West Coast cool, melancholy ballads, bubblegum bangers, and echoes of Wings, 10cc, Lemon Twigs, Of Montreal, Weyes Blood, Nick Lowe, Carole King and more!
'Counting To Three' will be released on wiaiwya records on limited and lovely vinyl, download and of course, over on Bandcamp and your favourite streaming service.
“Rich harmonies and killer pop sensibilities” Anorak
“This is superb – a wonderfully listenable and eminently danceable collection of rock hooks, silken synth lines and perfectly balanced vocal leads.” Piccadilly Records
“If you’re a fan of power pop, ‘70s songwriters, psych pop and all that summery lovely stuff, then you’ll dig this one!” Norman Records
“Timeless melodic pop” Yorkshire Post
“Sunshine Pop at its very, very best” I Don’t Hear A Single
“Make this album the sound of your summer!” At The Barrier
“Get ready to dive into summer… jangly piano pop a la Todd & Brian… what more could you want?” Silver Moon
“An unmissable disc for power pop fans everywhere” Real Gone Rocks
“Their songs have a blend of Beach Boys and more recent indie influences which are perfectly balanced, as well as slight nuances and nods towards bands such as 10cc and The Beatles.” Scratched Record Podcast

I feel like they're our Beach Boys. No beach, and not boys anymore either, but this is how I feel about them. Super bright and catchy songs to uplift you no matter how long your day has been.

How Are You Coping With This Century?
by Novelty Islandsupported by 10 fans who also own “Counting To Three”
I could leave it here. ‘How Are You Coping With This Century’ is my choice for best album of 2021. This is my subjective view of course, but you’d be wrong to discount it. There’s surreal stories, delicious 1960’s melodies and harmonies, jangle pop, ace musicianship, faux country & western, all wrapped up in McCartney-led Beatles vibes. I can’t see where Tom & Co. put a foot wrong here. It’s a wonderful piece of pop magic.
