Abstract
When music affects someone, it's often hard to tell whether it's the words or the melody or rhythm that is having the greatest impact. Radio Company’s anxiously awaited second album comes at a point in time when hope is finally rising from the worldwide calamity known as COVID-19, a novel coronavirus that continues to ravage the populace. Music lovers have keenly felt the absence of live performances, whether in intimate venues or supersized stadiums, and that sense of loss is soothed within the boundaries of this album. The purpose of this review is not to replicate Kenedi’s track-by-track piece of Vol. 2, written for Nerds and Beyond. Rather, the aim is to expose themes across both albums and place Radio Company’s works within a cultural context.
