The Radio Dept. - Freddie and The Trojan Horse |
Tuesday, 20 May 2008 |
|
 It’s an amazing thing to watch a band develop and transform with every piece of new music they create. Take the new single from Labrador’s indie golden boys the Radio Dept . for example. It’s another step in the direction of a sound which is resoundingly dark and sombre, far removed from the gorgeous and spacious dream-pop of their debut disc Lesser Matters. While their sophomore record, Pet Grief, hinted at something darker with its raised glasses to detachment and disappointment, 'Freddie And The Trojan Horse' sees the Radio Dept. deep in a swell of bitterness and resentment. From the stuttered machine-gun beat to Johan Duncanson’s seething indictment of the Swedish government, 'Freddie And The Trojan Horse' is cold, harsh and one of the most exhilarating things I’ve heard all year. By Dave Ruby Howe.  |
