Films for Radio is the 2001 album from Over the Rhine, the Ohio folk outfit built around singer Karin Bergquist and keyboard player Linford Detweiler, two of the four founders who started the band in 1989. It landed on Back Porch Records as the follow-up to Amateur Shortwave Radio.
The sound sits in Americana, but with a hushed, after-midnight glow: Bergquist's patient, smoky voice set against Detweiler's spare keys, the kind of record that feels made for headphones and a long drive. "Give Me Strength" is the song that found its way to the countdowns, and it's a fair calling card for the album's slow-burning mood. The Cutting Room Floor came next.
