Radio Heat 03:53
I wished for a brighter start for you Picturing day’s first light Like a tide running over your door Hot water on cold veins When a soft beat drops like a screen I know, and I know you’ve got it too I can feel radio heat on While you walk to my back I retreat Now everytime before like A box of matches in the sink on fire Leaning over the gate Tryna make us make you fired upon Against everything she runs back to me I can feel radio heat on While you walk to my back I retreat Now everytime before like A box of matches in the sink on fire I can feel radio heat on While you walk to my back I retreat Now everytime before like A box of matches in the sink on fire

Fault Line 02:38
Drive me to the water And drop me off You say that you need me but I’m not feeling me at all I can’t make a choice from a flavor to my dreams Darling sometimes things are just as they seem No flowers or kind Can tie a fault line What went down is too much to move Darlin i’m sorry I can’t be the one To walk you to the moon Time wrapped around you and sharpened up it’s knife Cut down my center to make it true for your life But I ain’t no part time love and no meantime fling Time and again we tried everything No flowers or kind Can tie a fault line What went down is too much to move Darlin i’m sorry I can’t be the one To walk you to the moon No flowers or kind Can tie a fault line What went down is too much to move Darlin i’m sorry I can’t be the one To walk you to the moon

Chimes 02:28
Slow cut target practice but the rain is so heavy on the chimes They don’t ring even with a big ole breeze Gravity strings that water from the sky I got an enamel bath full of shit Drip on my smoke Burnout finger tip Another california seasons joke Tease me wintery still you get me feelin’ so cold Don’t love the solitude but I often am Get used to it, I feel the sun when I can If you let me get between Wouldn’t mind a leg up outta this freeze Chess on the table The board is live I’ve been playin here For both sides No moving pieces all at once I like to build a fire and some disposition homespun Red jacket on a hanger turning around From a nail on the wall up off of the ground If you wanna leave, I’ll take care of your town If I were you, I’d be scared too Sunsets, fog lifts And their wings do too Drying off for the night like i'm still doin from you Tracking leaves in the house like they fell on the floor The wind blows open the door We can see the shoreline

Tower 03:47
There goes my baby Honey walking, down the street I’ll know the stars shine Before relying on a grifter’s dream Tell me somethin How do you love? Oh baby when I take back my heart I’ll watch you tumblin back to me Let go let go Be still my heart You know we can’t Build upon what’s fallin apart I’ve heard from two too many tongues Caught in the wind but it’s the wind I’m of Shimmer shimmer see it dancing with the trees No fire burns without the air to breathe I’ll spell you something, How do I love? With all I know looking out at the sun All the love, all the love is all to be free Let go let go Be still my heart You know we can’t Build upon what’s fallin apart Straight from the start You played the part You know it’s time To read the signs The tower fell You might as well Just keep on walkin Keep on walkin Keep on walkin Keep on walkin Just keep on walkin
5.
Baby 03:44
Baby, I’m telling you how I feel I want it to be real Time runs, through this town It’s here and gone So would you take me as I am? Sugar, I know things ain’t be so easy these days Seems like tall new shadows are comin up all around us, On our streets and in our hearts But somehow, I wonder… if all this time space I’ve gazed upon and walked across Was just skipping rocks to get to you So won’t you take me out? I want to get out with you Take me down I wanna get down with you Spin me around I want to turn with you Oh baby, leave my side and I will still find You walking around my mind Dont be gone too long Ooo baby baby baby I dug up my heart today I had to hide it away Till you came around Now I’m just waiting down By the water for you Swimming around Waiting on you I’ll be waiting down To sail away Wherever we choose

Dreaming of days in Goodnight, TX I’m 200 miles out There ain’t a lonely star in Goodnight, TX Not till the sun comes out From star to star Out in space There’s years of light between Down on this ribbon of lost highway Just up the road it seems Woke up in a daze in Goodnight, TX There’s a light through the haze by your side How do we pray for love in Goodnight, TX? Is it only Sundays, or when the sun goes out From star to star Out in space There’s years of light between Down on this ribbon of lost highway It’s just up the road, it seems

Borderlines 03:57
Tracing my mind Don’t you put your own words, between my lines Cause I like to believe And the picture you’re seein’s just light on your screen Crossing all of these borderlines Fish are flying Birds are diving in time Tack up and ride this rock into space Watch it all disappear You’re all over the place Some light easy rain Wish we’d turn a new season without any games Though I do love to dream Upper end of a river, see your way to the sea Crossing all of these borderlines Fish are flying Birds are diving in time Tack up and ride this rock into space Watch it all disappear You’re all over the place

Montana 03:37
When I get there with you Feelin so nice I never wanna go back home And so the night came And you were a light Walkin through the field alone Can somebody ooo talk of the stars And point out the lines Can somebody ooo layoff the time And get this crazy world off my mind I’m made to carry The way it’s inside His red cup glowing in the sun But you ain’t my baby And i didn’t invite Im walking away but i wanna run Can somebody ooo talk of the stars And point out the lines Can somebody ooo layoff the time And get this crazy world off my mind She dropped to her knees The dirt on her jeans Taking the grass in her hand Sometimes I’m so tired Of tellin’ him why Or how, while she dances to band
9.
Latigo 03:12
At the break of day Until the setting sun Throw the table over You called me like a hit and run As the weeping willow crows I will fold into the night You will wonder where I’ve gone And go crazy crazy knowing why Stirrups spurs and a latigo I want it all with you Dreaming in a tidal flow Sometimes it could be true As the weeping willow crows I will fold into the night You will wonder where I’ve gone And go crazy knowing why
10.
Port Costa 05:00
I told myself go on and leave it behind There are easier roads Without the dreams of mine You know I’ve been a dreamer for this for a long time So I got off the straight, and I turned with the wind Was a delta romance Still water and wine I felt the ground moving, before I saw the line And I guess that’s the way I fell in with you So would you lay me down easy? While that train passes through With the moon on the mind And the wind in your mouth Still you’re coming in close Then you’re walkin out You are as free as all that I know looking out at the sun Heavy and burning, with a promise to none Was a delta romance Still water and wine I felt the ground moving before I saw the line And I guess that’s the way I fell in with you So would you lay me down easy? While that train passes through Baby would you lay me down easy? while that train passes through
11.
Had her baby Sold her coat Mama don’t wear leather no more Remember walkin through the hood Now all you want is to be understood Shiny boots Yellow string Trade it in, for finer things But what you get ain’t what you choose So what’s the point in telling truths? You scream loud And I’ll scream louder Either way it don’t matter Do you want the buckle end? I just want to play pretend

Radio Heat is the sophomore album from Desiree Cannon and a step further into her world of constellations, waterways, and cosmic omens. Like her debut LP, Beach Sleeper, the album is a cohesive, yet diverse collection of songs that each act as a doorway to access the sonic multiverse of the record. You could step into the album through the dark, Lynchian ballad Latigo, the sparkling surf-inspired track Tower, or the modern, heartworn waltz Fault Line, and each would serve as a proper introduction into Desiree’s vibrant, intentional collection of songs.

The album is unified around the core concept of Radio Heat - a collective electrical energy that is perpetually transferring human emotions through space and time, and our ability to transform that energy through acts of beauty, intention, and art. In this way, Radio Heat as a concept and an album transmutes pain - in its many guises - into song. While Cannon’s country influences and songwriting inspirations are interwoven throughout the album, Radio Heat stretches to include a multitude of musical styles, and is ultimately a soundtrack for the present day, looking towards a future where grief is shed and beauty abounds.

The heart of Radio Heat was recorded to tape on a remote hilltop in Big Sur during 2020 and 2021, a time of intense uncertainty and deep need for artistic collaboration. Being separated from the news cycle and among the stars allowed for these songs to be imagined and reimagined to match the rugged, staggering Esselen lands that surrounded their creation.
