Beight: Highly listenable indie pop gems.


After several years of performing around Minneapolis as a solo artist, Brad Senne decided it was time to record a full length album and the end result is File In Rhythm, eleven indie pop gems driven by catchy melodies and quiet ardor.

The album, which Senne recorded under project name Beight (pronounced "bait"), features him on guitar, bass, piano, and vocals. He set it down at Flowers Studio in Minneapolis, where Senne enlisted the engineering/producing expertise of Ed Ackerson (Polara, Kraig Johnson and The Program). Ackerman also contributed some keyboard and bass to a few tracks, while Peter Anderson (The Ocean Blue, Mark Mallman, Polara) sat in on drums.

Senne's melodic fluency and lyrical skills shine through on every single track—from the bright, radio friendly "File in Rhythm" and "Parallels" to the simple, subdued beauty of "Without Warning" and "In the Middle." The second to last tune on the album, "Invisible City," has a big and cinematic yet tender and downcast quality that makes it feel like a lost track from Lost in Translation. Someone call Sofia.
