Radio Dept.
The Radio Dept. are back again, well they never really went anywhere, it just takes a long time for their albums and EP’s to float across the vast Atlantic Ocean, at least its not the Pacific. Anyway, I found another EP of theirs Pulling Our Weight, which was released fairly recently on the very much underrated Labrador Records. If I could use Labrador in an analogy it would go something like this:
Labrador:Sweden::Merge:Canada
Well maybe thats not really accurate being that most of Merge’s acts are from the US, but whatever you get the point. Labrador brings us the best stuff from Sweden, including Pulling Our Weight. Which contains one of the best pop songs ever recorded, “I Don’t Need Love, I’ve Got My Band” sure thats a bit dramatic, but isn’t that the only way things get attention in the blogosphere. I remember reading somewhere that the latest Spoon album was “like better, than The Beatles Revolver man.” Really? Spoon?
