"So Many Faces" is the first of three EPs The Radar Station will release in 2026. The band is known for its unique live performances, where they reinvent their songs rather than simply replicating the studio versions. They love to experiment and explore different approaches - from stripped-down interpretations to radically reworked arrangements. This distinctive trait has now been brought into the studio: each EP embraces its own concept, rangingfrom an alternate-universe approach to stripped-down and redesigned covers, and even an authentic live session. "So Many Faces" features three completely reimagined tracks from their second album, "Birds of Choice "(2025). The album gained airplay on several national radio stations in Belgium and was celerated live in different venues trough Belgium (Arensberg, De Grote Post, Charlatan,...).

After all, don’t we all show different faces depending on who we’re talking to?

"Silent Face (See us change)": Is love or friendship a waste of time just because it might one day pass?

Leadsinger Brent Buckler ponders about this with his deep and nostalgic voice, carried by a hypnotic groove and moody waves of a Sequential OB-6 synth played by Sander Cliquet. This is one of The Radar Station’s most vibey tracks to date. Think Radiohead, Balthazar and Nick Cave.

"Somewhere Out There (Still believe in you)" is the second song on the EP and is about a child of divorced parents who has learned to not believe in love. Why not struggle on to make it bloom? Or is it better to have nothing to lose? This is The Radar Station at their grooviest and most nostalgic moment at the same time. Think Haim, Alabama Shakes and The National.

Finally, there is the activist song "The Cheapest Seats (The weight of the world)". It tells the story of the unspeakable, unforgivable genocide of the people of Palestine through the eyes of a young girl who once loved peeking through windows into other people’s lives. Now, with the homes reduced to rubble, every room lies open — a shattered book exposing Gaza’s total destruction.

Humans often cling to hope, believing solutions will come. But not this time. This story cannot be undone. This is the most mournful and bleak, yet painfully realistic song they’ve ever written. It unfolds with a slow, haunting groove, with heavy-hearted backbeat, and builds to a wall-of-sound outro that echoes both rage and the sense of irreversible injustice.

More about The Radar Station

The Radar Station emerged in 2017 from the musical collaboration between brothers Brent Buckler (vocals, guitar) and Sander Cliquet (guitar, backing vocals, synths), creating a distinctive blend of indie rock with cinematic soundscapes. Their sound has always been full of ambition, intensity and raw emotion - drawing inspiration from artists like The National, The War on Drugs, Sam Fender, Nick Cave and Big Thief.

In 2020, they won De Nieuwe Lichting, Belgium’s top music contest, launching their debut album "Life Inside A Tornado", which hit the airwaves on stations like Studio Brussel, Radio 1, Willy and Radio 2. With sold out shows at venues like AB, Trix and Het Depot and appearances at festivals including Dranouter and Labadoux, The Radar Station made its mark in the Belgian indie scene. Ever since, a second album has been passionately worked on behind the scenes. After a few years of reflection and late night writing sessions in the south of France, The Radar Station returned in 2025 and released their second albun "Birds Of Choice", produced by Koen Gisen (The Bony King Of Nowhere, Oscar & The Wolf, Nordmann), reflects a more mature and straightforward band.
