| The Radio Dept. were one of the more successful shoegaze-influenced |

| indie rock bands to come out of Sweden in the early 2000s, making waves |

| among indie aficionados on the strength of their critically acclaimed |

| first release, Lesser Matters. Elin Almered and Johan Duncanson formed a |

| prototypical version of the group in Lund, Sweden, in 1995 while they |

| were in high school, naming the group after a gas station called |

| Radioavdelningen. Almered and Duncanson disbanded almost as soon as |

| they'd found a name, but Duncanson revived the group three years later, |

| teaming up with Martin Larsson. Bassist Lisa Carlberg, drummer Per |

| Blomgren, and keyboardist Daniel Tjader rounded out the lineup in 2001, |

| and things took off for the group at that point. They sent a demo to |

| Sonic magazine, which went on to feature the band on a CD sampler. |

| Swedish indie giant Labrador caught wind of the demo via the sampler and |

| snapped the band up; the group's debut full-length, Lesser Matters, |

| arrived two years later, during which time Blomgren amicably split with |

| the group. That album and the band's second release on Labrador, 2005's |

| Pulling Our Weight EP, received widespread attention with the release of |

| Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette, which featured "Keen on Boys," |

| "Pulling Our Weight," and "I Don't Like It Like This." |

| |

| Carlberg left the group soon after Pulling Our Weight was released, and |

| the group refrained from hiring another bassist, opting instead for the |

| use of a drum machine on its next album. That release, 2006's Pet Grief, |

| found Duncanson and Larsson turning away from the guitar-driven aspects |

| of their first full-length and delving into synth pop in the spirit of |

| the Pet Shop Boys. Due to various factors, including the fact that the |

| band didn't tour heavily in support of the album, Pet Grief failed to |

| sell as well as its predecessor and received little attention from the |

| mainstream music press. The Radio Dept. took their time recording |

| material for their next album, and it wasn't until summer of 2008 that a |

| new single, Freddie and the Trojan Horse, was released. More delays led |

| to nothing further surfacing (and the album that was supposed to be out |

| in late 2008, Clinging to a Scheme, being shelved) until the next |

| summer, when the single David was released. |
