An unspeakably lovely sophomore album this, Malmo-based electropoppers The Radio Dept. have finally got Pet Grief released in the UK after already achieving no small amount of success with it in their native Sweden and the rest of Europe. Clearly basing their sound on a love of My Bloody Valentine and the Pet Shop Boys, tracks like 'A Window' 'Every Time' and 'What Will Give?' ooze an effortless fuzzed-out pop grandeur. While The Radio Dept. occupy similar territory to Junior Boys and compatriots The Knife, these don't sound specifically like electronic pop songs. They're characterised by that combination of wafer-thin, distorted guitar rasp with deadpan echo chamber vocals that keeps cropping up in underground Europop nowadays. And that's no bad thing really - it just conjures comparisons to classic '90s indie, specifically Loveless-era Kevin Shields. A particularly impressive addition to the current trend for shoegaze revisionism, The Radio Dept. might just have made a record whose appeal will long outlive the fad.
