The Radio Dept.
Label: LabradorGenre: Pop
The Radio Dept's last LP Pet Grief further cemented their delicate pop sounds, built with the tools of 80's pop (haunting keyboads, drum machines, echo pedals), as their sound. "Freddie and the Trojan Horse," from their upcoming June EP, doesn't mess with their formula, but it does turn up the tempo and the urgency.
Original Post 11/17/2004: Like religious conversion or political persuasion, music can be very personal. Isn't that why we like it? So rather than a cold, third-person blip about The Radio Dept., allow me to share something personal, which is that I just love The Radio Dept. Love. My longstanding record for the most times I've listened to a song in a row is Joe Jackson's "Got the Time," clocking in at 48 consecutive listens. But, at the rate I'm going, The Radio Dept.'s "Pulling Our Weight" is going to overtake that before the night is over.
