Broken Radio is a restless traveler on the Americana highway, a crossover artist between tradition and modernity, never averse to a detour into electronica, pop or even trap. It's a sonic ride into a gothic world of burning love and broken dreams. Songs steeped in an atmospheric past, laced with drum loops and electronic effects.
Broken Radio is a solo project by Klaus Patzak, a German artist who started making music by this name back in the early 90s. He has enjoyed critical acclaim ever since one of his tracks appeared on the now legendary vinyl compilation "Hausmusik".
Although Klaus has a background in folk, rock and country, the versatile artist also discovered a preference for pop and electronic music. A combination of traditional songwriting and contemporary ingredients became the DNA of Broken Radio's complex and eclectic sound - from pedal steel to synthesizers, from campfire guitars to drum loops.
Until today Broken Radio has released five full length albums and several tracks for compilations. On "Dirty Country" the upcoming 2023 album Klaus is heading down a more traditional route than some of his previous songs, particularly the previous album, Twerk & Twang, might have indicated. 12 alternative country tunes injected with some gothic lulls and lonesome highs, of course all written, recorded and produced by himself.
And the road goes on...
