Disguised Lucifer and Strange Pains
Providence has a musician making waves, Ted Bradley, whose sound expertly blends collaborations and solo creativity. Bradley is already a fixture in the music scene, contributing his talents to the band Empty Country, fronted by former Cymbals Eat Guitars frontman Joseph D’Agostino.
Beyond his work with Empty Country, Bradley is equally known for his own distinctive project, Strange Pains. This is where his unique songwriting shines, often benefiting from the high-caliber production of his collaborator, D’Agostino.
D’Agostino didn’t just collaborate; he was deeply involved in shaping the sound of Strange Pains, handling the production, engineering, and mixing for their upcoming long-awaited LP, The Diamond District, Volume 1. This record was slated for release today, promising a major moment for the music community.
However, the rhythm of release often dictates the pace of creative projects. While the LP has been slightly pushed back—it will now arrive next month—the excitement hasn’t faded. Instead of waiting, Strange Pains dropped a fresh new single today, “Lucifer Disguised,” allowing fans to dive immediately into the vibrant world of Bradley’s music.
The single immediately caught attention, making its debut on music publication Stereogum, signaling that the momentum surrounding Strange Pains is stronger than ever. It’s a testament to the enduring appeal of Bradley’s unique vision and the quality of the musical partnership he shares with Joseph D’Agostino.
