Some compare them to the Pet Shop Boys, while others point out similarities with My Bloody Valentine. Some claim they play dream pop, others swear that it’s shoegaze. Either way, the Swedish Radio Dept. plays the type of music that has always enjoyed a warm welcome at the Off Festival. They’ve just come out with their third album, titled “Clinging to a Scheme,” which Pitchfork sees as a “whole new beginning” for the band, claiming that the record “rewards every ounce of attention you give it.” And they apparently play “great songs” as well. |
