The first Rad Unicorn album, Asleep In The Forest is now available! Buy it here.
Rad Unicorn is a guitar and bass duo that sings quiet, sad songs about nightmares and dreams and other ridiculous things.
Our music twists bass, guitar and vocal harmonies into a secret message for folks who can't stand the despair. We don't know what the message is; we just pass it along.
We're Suzanne and Ero, both formerly members of the noisy San Diego art-pop band The Nylon-Coated Cats. Now we've become unicorns, and would like you to come frolic in our enchanted meadow. We may never wake up.
Mm, I'm diggin' the Bog action. Hard to ssee in a Bog. I wish you boggy dreams. The secret music Ero sent me also sounds real good. Every time it pops up on my iPod I say to myself, mm, this is nice. And then I realize it's Ero's secret music. But sometimes its Good Charlotte.
Hey! I just made "The Nyctalope" my profile song. Love it! It transports me back to some sleepy, profound, ennui-filled 3 a.m. 17-years-old-in-San-Diego place. But in a good way.
