"I am traveling from California to CPH for the first time next week and want to see one of my favorite bands, the Radio Dept, while I am there. However, tickets are sold out and nothing has popped up for resale yet, so hoping maybe someone here has an extra ticket or a lead on someone who might. Thanks!"

Anna Lundin - strange things will happen the radio dept cover, 2023

Anna Lundin · Strange things will happen (The radio dept. cover)

"No matter where or when I hear it next, it rushes to meet me wherever I am, finding new meaning in the life unraveling around me. Which is to say I have heard this song hundreds, if not thousands, of different ways."

Ingraban - strange things will happen the radio dept cover, 2022

"I watched the movie (Bon Appetit) and fell in love with this tune. And now, years later, off and on I still listen to the song - always in an endless loop. Obviously, I had to record my version. As a drum set, I used the little typewriter, I inherited from my great aunt some 25 years ago."

The Radio Dept - always a relief live in seoul, 2016

"The band is notoriously slow-releasing music and rarely gives interviews, cultivating a sense of mystery and ensuring they never compromise their art for commercial pressure"

The Radio Dept - i wanted you to feel the same live at wfuv, 2011

"Fans often describe the performance as transporting, highlighting the vocalist's ability to convey deep sentiment, often noting the sound transports them to a "far off place"."

The Radio Dept - david semi-instrumental betheriel, 2023

"Been a fan of them for years, and the other day I hopped over to their Spotify page because I always randomly get the urge to listen to their music this time of year. I was kind of shocked to see them at nearly a million monthly listeners- last time I checked I believe they were at something like 200,000? Though I can’t recall when exactly that was. Curious if they’ve been having any kind of viral blowup lately. It’d be great id more people knew about them because they’ve always felt very underrated to me. Such a special band"

The Radio Dept - your true name, 2018

"Newly liberated from their former label Labrador, Swedish indie luminaries The Radio Dept. (Johan Duncanson and Martin Larsson) revisit their original laid-back college rock sound in their new single, “Your True Name,” released on their own independent label Just So! Signaling an optimistic outlook on the future ahead, the band explains, “‘Your True Name’ is a song about faith"

Mythologen - radicalised feat johan duncanson the radio dept, 2025

"Mythologen is the alias of artist, designer and musician Alexander Palmestål from Gothenburg, Sweden. His early demos began circulating in 2002 as Pistol Disco, combining his love for Acid House, Bleep, and Kraut-influenced Techno to critical acclaim. This momentum led to international tours and releases on influential indie labels."

The Radio Dept - swedish guns, 2016

"If you’re familiar with their work, you’ll hear all of the breezy synths, the sweeping guitars and Johan Duncanson’s recognizable vocals. And just like their previous body of work, their new single “Swedish Guns” has this melancholy, sorrowful fervor. The melody at first is calming and relaxing. But the longer you let yourself drown into the song, the more you realize that Duncanson’s lyrics are eerily morose. He repeats the line “Swedish guns” throughout the song making the soothing melodies a dark experience."

The Radio Dept - occupied, 2015

"The world can probably never get enough synthy dream-pop, and The Radio Dept. have been fulfilling that need for quite some time. The Swedish duo of Johan Duncanson and Martin Carlberg have been doing their thing since the late-90’s and with their first release, in 2001, of Lesser Matters. In 2016, Sofia Coppola included several of their on her new wave soundtrack for Marie Antoinette, elevating them further by placing them beside their own heroes, 80’s legends like Siouxsie and the Banshees, New Order, Gang of Four and The Cure."

The Radio Dept - this thing was bound to happen, 2016

"The song reflects the Swedish duo's signature dreamy, synth-driven indie pop sound, with introspective lyrics and a melancholic yet danceable vibe. The album, released on October 21, 2016, marked a shift toward more politically charged themes, though this track leans into their classic emotional introspection."

The Radio Dept - teach me to forget, 2016

"The sublime melody and chord progression evokes potent feelings: defiance, resignation, a sense of the inevitable. Even during its extended instrumental coda, heavy with irresistible house-music piano and a synth filigree that could’ve been lifted off a Toto (!) record, the song’s momentum is sustained and deepened—you almost don’t want it to end, but it abruptly does, and the spooky title track carries these feelings further, all the way through the closing, quietly seething “Teach Me To Forget”.

The Radio Dept - committed to the cause, 2016

"The Radio Dept. mixes moody, dreamy aesthetics with a straightforward pop sensibility—a successful formula they demonstrated on singles like “Heaven’s on Fire” and “Never Follow Suit.” And it’s a balancing act they attempt to continue on Running Out of Love—a long delayed album that arrives after five years of near silence from the band."

The Radio Dept - sloboda narodu, 2016

"The title of the song, Sloboda Narodu, is Serbo-Croat for “Death to fascism, freedom to the people!”. This was the slogan of the Yugoslav partisans fighting the fascists during World War II. The phrase was coined by Croatian partisan Stjepan Filipović, who, with a noose around his neck, proclaimed the phrase just before he was hung."

The Radio Dept - we made the team, 2011

"At the end of 2006, a new track, "We Made the Team", was released as the 100th release on the Labrador. It was also the final track on the Labrador's labels Compilation of 100 tracks released at the beginning of 2007."
