The Radio Dept.: Occupied Vinyl 12″

Sweden’s Radio Dept.switch gears and explore dreamy electronic dance for the first time. “Occupied” finds the band in moody dance zones with emotive vocals and shoegaze vibes over deep 4×4 rhythms. Next up “It Looked Like Heaven” is a return to the dream pop sounds Radio Dept is more known for, while the Liminals remix of “Down Down Down” gets a little funkier with it, sounding like something fans of Ghostly or Kompakt would certainly dig. 12″ pressing limited to 1000 copies.
