Artist: The Radio Dept.
Album: Clinging to a Scheme
Label: Labrador
Genre: Pop
Comments: From the promoter:
"After four years The Radio Dept. finally returns with what is arguably their finest release to date! Clinging to a Scheme projects more ambiance than either of its predecessors. The result is a seamless transition for The Radio Dept., that is distinctly the same band but with more of a focus on subtle rhythmic additions and understated synths. Clinging to a Scheme begins with the extremely fun efforts in 'Domestic Scene' and 'Heaven's on Fire' both of which utilize bright percussion and vivacious synths that draw you in immediately. AAM's personal favorite, 'Never Follow Suit' is another one of the album's best tracks, takinga repeated keyboard riff and vocal murmurs that resound brilliantly throughout the track. Clinging to a Scheme is the perfect album for the Spring-Summer transistion!"

For fans of Real Estate, jj, and Yo La Tengo. A very enjoyable album.
