Radio Dept

Swedish lo-fi band currently consisting of members Johan Duncanson, Martin Larrson and Daniel Tjader. Claiming influences from St Etienne, the Pet Shop Boys and Nick Drake they are an understated mix of Snow Patrol, Low and Elbow with definite leanings towards eighties synth pop. According to Drowned in Sound, Radio Dept. have ‘the same majesty and ethereal wonder contained in the best works of the Flaming Lips, Boo Radleys, My Bloody Valentine, Jesus and Mary Chain and Mercury Rev, plus tens of other bands who have bled their soul onto acetate.’

Ana Roxanne is a musician born and raised in the Bay Area. Her self-released EP was later reissued by Leaving Records before signing with Kranky for her official full-length debut, 2020's Because Of A Flower.

Working at the interzone of electric meditation, dream pop, and ambient songcraft, her inspirations span the secular (R&B divas of 1980's and 90's) and the spiritual (Catholic choral traditions in which she was raised), synthesized into a uniquely intuitive sonic language, equal parts atmospheric and ancient, healing and hermetic.
