92. The Radio Dept. - Heaven's On Fire

Europe taketh and Europe giveth back. Thanks Europe.

Sometimes its nice to just sit back and relax. Shut your brain off for a while. You know, like after a long day for some reason you just want to do nothing but sit in a bath for a while then maybe lay in your bed and drift off to a nice, deep sleep. I would add nothing but a little soothing music to it. Well, maybe you'd like some bath bombs, too. I hear those are pretty nifty little relaxation vehicles. Although I've never used them, I have bought them... as a gift for my sisters. Honest truth.

This song's been on repeat all day. Hailing from Sweden, The Radio Dept. isn't really doing anything super clever and groundbreaking, but its really not bothering me one bit. I like the little jazzy bits of horns layered over those repetitive guitar and key lines. I'm pretty sure the song has a meaning that I haven't figured out. It's not that I can't understand it... my mind just goes into a completely tranquil state when the intro voice stops speaking about the "capitalistic destruction of youth culture." I'm sure this isn't the last we'll be talking about this band here. They have a new album due out in May. I'll pass on the word when I get it!
