The Radio Dept. Ready Singles Compilation, Passive Aggressive: Singles 2002-2010

The Radio Dept. have been a long-time favorite here at The Color Awesome. They’ve been churning out dreamy indie pop for Swedish label Labrador for years. Early next year, they’ll release the double-disc collection Passive Aggressive: Singles 2002-2010.

The group has a handful of shows coming up later this year and after taking a break for the holidays they’ll come back and do a proper tour North America in February. You’ll find their tour dates and the Passive Aggressive tracklisting below. Also below, download a track that doesn’t appear on the collection, Pistol Disco’s “Never Swallow Fruit” dub of “Never Follow Suit” from Clinging to a Scheme. It’s from the Never Follow Suit EP, which was released November 9 on Labrador/ Caroline.
