listen to the radio...

stop! not to the commercial radio stations but to radio dept. radio dept is a 3-piece indie pop band from lund, sweden. founded in 1995 the band had 3 lps and a few eps so far. their sound is based on dreaming shoegaze tunes mixed up with catchy pop tunes with influences of the pet shop boys, sonic youth and velvet underground. if you are familiar with those bands, you might have noticed, that the bands sound is widely spreaded. you may actually describe there sound as deamgazers or something like that. here are some of there (in my opinion) catchiest songs:

where damage isn't already done


david


i don't need love, i've gote my band (download with left klick)



and here is a more depressive but also great song. something for great moments in bed...

i wanted you to feel the same


as bonus: here is a great suggestion from coast is clear blog. television keeps as apart is a band which sounds clearly like the radio dept. listen for yourself, cause you can download the whole album for free here.
ah by the way, don't be shy and feel free to add comments to this post!

willingly.
radio depts familiar neighbours television keeps us apart. "parents house in `99" surely don`t keep me apart.

with its cool rhythmic light "david" introduces a perfect club evening in my opinion.

later, at a higher level "i don`t need love..." might be played.

"i wanted you to feel.." has some smooth outro touching elements.

so, you got the right order!
