""RUNNING OUT OF LOVE" SHOWCASED THEIR IMMERSION IN VARIOUS FORMS OF DANCE MUSIC AND THEIR DEEP INTEREST IN POLITICS..."
PIC INFO: Spotlight on 2016's "Running Out of Love" by Swedish indie/dream pop band THE RADIO DEPT., and their fourth album in six years. The Japanese/art union label CD pressing included the bonus tracks, "It Looked Like Heaven (but Feels like Hell)" and "Down, Down," Down."
MINI-OVERVIEW: "After a prolonged gestation period that included legal battles with their longtime label Labrador, an album that they started and discarded, and a change in musical direction, in 2016 THE RADIO DEPT. issued their first album in six years.
"Running Out of Love" showcased their immersion in various forms of dance music and their deep interest in politics, while still delivering the strong hooks and sweeping melodies their music always had.
The shift to a dancier direction was first previewed on the singles that occasionally escaped, and Running takes it all the way with songs that borrow from Detroit techno (the Inner City-inspired "We Got Game"), early-'90s IDM ("Occupied"), baggy Stone Roses-styled funk ("Committed to the Cause"), and glitchy late-night electronica ("Teach Me to Forget")."
