Heaven's on Fire



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. Their latest, Clinging to a Scheme, continues the shoegazing and dream-pop tendencies of the group. They have been described as a combination of Saint Etienne and Jesus and Mary Chain. Their short song structure gets right to the point and sucks you in. Take a listen to Heaven's on Fire here.
