Green Tea Papi Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) Guys it's really happening after 6 years we're getting new music from the greatst band on the planet Let's go! I'll update the OP with new info as it comes in, the album is due out 10/21, and their website is currently down. Here is the official statement from the band "We have just finished our 4th full-length album, Running Out Of Love. An album about life in Sweden in 2016 and how our society seems to be in regression on so many levels. Politically, intellectually, morally...It's an album about all the things that are moving in the wrong direction. It's about the impatience that turns into anger, hate and ultimately withdrawal and apathy when love for the world and our existence begins to falter. "For the third time in a row we have made two albums instead of one. After constant touring for a couple of years after our latest release, Clinging To A Scheme, we started writing and recording an album that we later decided to scrap. As some of you might be aware, we have been caught up in a lengthy legal battle with our record label and publisher. We took a pause from releasing singles and EP's and instead spent our time hanging out with friends, working odd jobs and just loafing around. Ultimately we lost the court case but still managed to reach an agreement with the record company that gave us the motivation to create music again. "In the summer of 2014, ideas and a concept for Running Out Of Love started to come together and the single 'Death To Fascism', now too old to be included, was the first effort towards the new album. Later, more new songs started to appear. The court case is taken care of in 'Occupied', the Swedish weapon and arms industry in 'Swedish Guns' and 'We Got Game' is about the proud police tradition of protecting nazis and racists, whilst at the same time using brutal violence against opposing groups of protesters. "Running Out Of Love has moulded itself into a rather dystopian album, mainly because it was created in a sense of deep frustration over the reactionary currents which characterize our time." Tracklist: 1. Sloboda Narodu 2. Swedish Guns 3. We Got Game 4. Thieves Of State 5. Occupied 6. This Thing Was Bound To Happen 7. Can’t Be Guilty 8. Committed To The Cause 9. Running Out Of Love 10. Teach Me To Forget Pre-Order: Amazon Certified classic incoming. Edited September 4, 2016 by Green Tea Papi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Tea Papi Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 Hi there! Sorry I've been busy. A new single called Swedish Gun is out and you can pre-order the album on Amazon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copelandkid Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 it's also been leaked for a while. not feeling it, honestly – but if you don't mind the shift away from lo-fi/guitar driven tunes or like the singles a lot, you won't share my disappointment.

Royce Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I jammed this a lot this weekend and really, really enjoy it. It does leave behind the guitar/lo-fi but this still is a Radio Dept album. To me It's like a drunk older brother to "Pet Grief." He's let loose and is having more fun (Music Wise) but is also wiser and more knowledgeable then his siblings (Lyric Wise.) It's a great LP but if you don't like the two singles style you will not like this record. Give it a chance though cause it pays off.

Thanks for the heads up! I'm gonna check it out, should be right up my ally since I've always enjoyed the dreamer and more somber synth driven elements of Passive Agressive Edited September 12, 2016 by Green Tea Papi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royce Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Just noticed this but there are two versions of this record: Standard Black and Limited Clear. Clear is here: https://www.amazon.com/Running-Out-Love-Clear-LP/dp/B01K4S50ZC/ref=ntt_mus_ep_dpi_1 Black is the amazon link above in the original post. I'm really loving this album. copelandkid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
