I sort of feel the opposite. I like listening to their songs, but Lesser Matters isn't very exciting when taken in a large dose.
This new single is not quite as immediate as "Where Damage...", but it has some shimmery goodness.

Clinging to a Scheme is the upcoming third album by The Radio Dept. It is going to be released on April 21, 2010 by Labrador Records.

Track listing
1. Domestic Scene 2. Heaven's on Fire 3. This Time Around 4. Never Follow Suit 5. A Token of Gratitude 6. The Video Dept. 7. Memory Loss 8. David 9. Four Months in the Shade 10. You Stopped Making Sense
this has leaked
― Bee OK, Sunday, 21 February 2010 03:44 (fourteen years ago) link
Is it legit? I know there's some question about the leak a few days ago (maybe this one's different?)
"Heaven's on Fire" is awesome, but sadly not a KISS cover.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 21 February 2010 03:46 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, mine is good and i'm liking it so far.
― Bee OK, Sunday, 21 February 2010 03:51 (fourteen years ago) link
The only problem with this band is the vocals. Who decided the guy could sing? ...he's terrible! They would be like a million times better with a good singer.

Just got a hot review on p4k. Kinda jj'ish? (Or is that vice-versa?) Anyway, I'm taking the cover as a recommendation and I plan to listen to the album in preferred state this week.
― Mordy, Tuesday, 27 April 2010 03:51 (thirteen years ago) link
this is a great record. one of my most played for 2010. it is perfect for night listening. might be their best album yet.
― Bee OK, Tuesday, 27 April 2010 05:35 (thirteen years ago) link
will have to go read the review, thank for pointing it out.
It is a great album though it's not a huge growth. I like it much more than Pet Grief, but not as much as Lesser Matters, which I don't think they'll ever top.
― scott pgwp (pgwp), Tuesday, 27 April 2010 07:56 (thirteen years ago) link
Picked this up last week myself and it's excellent... possibly their best work.
Agreed that "Heaven's on Fire" is stunning.

The highs are extremely high and the lows have improved (for me) over time. Kind of wish it were longer but it's better to be short and perfect than long and patchy.

This applies nicely to the jj album, too. I don't see the comparison except for a couple tracks, but both albums are short and sweet, and among my most played of the last few weeks.

i read these guys set out to sound nothing like jj or balearic. don't think they do either tbh.

― dazzle shjips (Future_Perfect), Tuesday, 27 April 2010 14:41 (thirteen years ago) link
Don't think this band has been much good since half the band left sometime after the 1st album. This new one is better than Pet Grief though, but I didn't like that one at all.

PEOPLE SEE ROCK AND ROLL AS-- AS YOUTH CULTURE
AND WHEN YOUTH CULTURE BECOMES MONOPOLIZED BY BIG BUSINESS... WHAT ARE THE YOUTH TO DO
DO YOU-- DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
I THINK WE SHOULD DESTROY THE BOGUS CAPITALIST PROCESS THAT IS DESTROYING YOUTH CULTURE

This is really good, the whole album has this upbeat-yet-melancholy sense around it, which is really charming.
― boxedjoy, Thursday, 29 April 2010 11:31 (thirteen years ago) link
these guys suck. subpar indie papp. plugging your guitar in direct doesn't make you shoegaze, it just makes the guitar sound like it's plugged in direct.this is lo-fi bedroom generic indie straight from 1992. send it back.

(relatedly: I wish the 2xLP of Passive Aggressive was affordable anywhere)

I recently discovered the EP compilation, "I Don't Need Love, I've Got My Band". I guess this slots in before "Pet Grief" on their timeline. Great stuff with great sound.
― o. nate, Thursday, 4 February 2021 21:33 (three years ago) link
yeah I was curious about that one
― Evan, Thursday, 4 February 2021 21:34 (three years ago) link
I think I like it better than "Pet Grief" actually. Probably my second favorite of their releases after "Clinging to a Scheme".
― o. nate, Thursday, 4 February 2021 21:36 (three years ago) link
This comp? OK noted! How about vs. Passive Aggressive Singles comp?
You can tell this is a cult band when you look at the vinyl prices on discogs by the way...
― Evan, Thursday, 4 February 2021 21:44 (three years ago) link
I haven't heard that one, so can't compare.
― o. nate, Thursday, 4 February 2021 22:00 (three years ago) link
I Don't Need Love... is a combo of two EPS, "Pulling Our Weight" and "This Past Week". Some of those songs but not all were on the Passive Aggressive comp.
