The journey behind Beige Radio’s music is as raw and genuine as the sound itself. The recording process for the album has been a collaborative effort with Tate Keller, also known as Mourning Modern, whose album Dallas Lights, Austin Nights caught Beige Radio's attention for its garage-inspired vibe. The two met at an open mic and quickly connected over their shared appreciation for DIY production.
“Tate and I connected musically in a way I haven’t experienced in a long time,” Beige Radio shares. “Even though our styles are different, his approach to recording resonated with me. We’ve developed a great friendship through this process, and I’m excited to finish the record with him.”

This new single explores themes of self-awareness and the need to prioritize individual well-being over exterior expectations. Beige Radio reveals that the song is inspired by their own experience of leaving a job that caused significant stress and exacerbated chronic health issues.
“At that job, I would Irish goodbye at staff outings, and one coworker told me they didn’t like that,” Beige Radio explains. “Later, I kind of Irish goodbye’d the entire staff when I left, only saying goodbye to one person. The song is about learning to listen to yourself and recognizing when it’s time to walk away from something that’s not right for you.”
