The Radio Dept. - Never Follow Suit
Club 8’s label-mates The Radio Dept. have, over the course of three albums, and assorted singles and EPs, mostly stuck to a fuzzy low-fi template; the distorted vocals of the perennial outsider accompanying simple strummed melodies. They count Saint Etienne among their influences - an influence worn brazenly here on Never Follow Suit, which appears to be paying respectful homage to their cover of Neil Young’s Only Love Can Break Your Heart.
