Artist: The Radio Dept
\nTitel: Running Out of Love
\nBetyg: 5<\/strong><\/p>\n

En om\u00e4nsklig vapenindustri. En finkl\u00e4dd rasistmobb. Och en frihet som k\u00e4mpar f\u00f6r sin \u00f6verlevnad. Running Out of Love<\/em> skildrar en tid d\u00e4r k\u00e4rleken spelat ut sin roll. Radio Depts fj\u00e4rde album \u00e4r ett tveeggat sv\u00e4rd, lika politiskt laddat som stils\u00e4kert komponerat. Ett praktverk som f\u00f6rtj\u00e4nar all uppm\u00e4rksamhet.<\/p>\n

Jag k\u00e4nner till f\u00e5 lika kompromissl\u00f6sa band. Lund-pojkarna Martin Carlberg och Johan Duncanson tr\u00e4ffades f\u00f6r f\u00f6rsta g\u00e5ngen vid 2000-talets inledande fas. Tillsammans bildade de Radio Dept. Sedan dess har de sl\u00e4ppt fyra album – \u201dLesser Matters\u201d, \u201dPet Grief\u201d och \u201dClinging to a Scheme\u201d och \u201dRunning Out of Love\u201d, samt ett g\u00e4ng EP:s och singlar. Nya unga lyssnare har uppt\u00e4ckt dem via musikbloggar som streamat utvalda l\u00e5tar av dem.
\nDet internationella genombrottet kom f\u00f6rst 2006 n\u00e4r Pulling Out Wieght<\/em> \u00e4r med p\u00e5 soundtracket till Sofia Coppolas Marie Antoinette<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Radio Dept \u00e4r or\u00e4dda och m\u00e5lmedvetna artister som triggas av utmaningar. Friktionsfritt r\u00f6r de sig mellan genrerna. Shoegaze m\u00f6ter elektro som m\u00f6ter synt som m\u00f6ter pop i en \u00f6desm\u00e4ttad inramning. Med Running Out Of Love<\/em> tar duon n\u00e4sta steg i utvecklingen. Gitarrerna har lagts \u00e5t sidan. Ist\u00e4llet framtr\u00e4der ett dansantare Radio Dept som p\u00e5minner om 80-talets house och bastunga techno. Musiken \u00e4r \u00f6desm\u00e4ttad. I mardr\u00f6mslika Occupied<\/em> l\u00e5nas ackord ifr\u00e5n kultf\u00f6rklarade Twin Peaks-serien som dryper av mystik och hotfull st\u00e4mning.<\/p>\n

Den andra sv\u00e4rdseggen \u00e4r politisk. \u00d6ppningssp\u00e5ret Sloboda Narodu<\/em>, p\u00e5 kroatiska \u201cfrihet \u00e5t folket\u201d, \u00e4r en dyster men hoppfull historia d\u00e4r popduon kr\u00e4ver r\u00e4ttvisa och skanderar \u201cFreedom now, freedom now\u201d. Dubbiga Swedish Guns<\/em> \u00e4r ett knytn\u00e4vsslag mot svensk vapenindustri: ”And guess what came to town, the Swedish guns \/\/ and guess what burned it down, the Swedish guns.” We Got Game<\/em> \u00e4r en t\u00e4nkv\u00e4rd gliring mot Sverigedemokraterna: \u201dLike with this bunch of racist goons \/\/ the kind of guys you would not like to spoon \/\/ if in power\u201d. De politiskt laddade l\u00e5ttexterna punkterar mags\u00e4cken p\u00e5 alla cyniker, egoister och fr\u00e4mlingsfientliga m\u00e4nniskor d\u00e4r ute.<\/p>\n

Running Out Of Love<\/em> \u00e4r beroendeframkallande och stils\u00e4ker popmusik. Carlberg och Duncanson \u00e4r tv\u00e5 blygsamma protagonister som inte litar p\u00e5 kritikernas ord. De f\u00e5r tro vad de vill. Running Out of Love<\/em> \u00e4r en fulltr\u00e4ff, en fempo\u00e4ngare och ett av \u00e5rets starkaste svenska album alla kategorier. S\u00e5 det s\u00e5!<\/p>\n
