The Radio Dept.

The Radio Dept. was formed in Malmö, Sweden in 2001 by Johan Duncanson and Martin Carlberg. Out of a great review in the music magazine Sonic (2002) they gained interest from the label Labrador. After a few eps, the band’s debut album “Lesser Matters” was released in January 2003 to much critical acclaim. When re-released by XL Recordings the band started to reach audiences internationally. All three singles from the album was featured on Single of the Week page in NME. The group enjoyed a more widespread recognition after three tracks (“Pulling Our Weight”, “I Don’t Like It Like This” and “Keen on Boys”) were included on the soundtrack for Sofia Coppola’s feature film Marie Antoinette.
