The Radio Dept. are finally returning with a new record in “Clinging to a Scheme” released in April on that fine purveyor of pop, Labrador – and if this is anything to go by it has been worth the wait. Heaven’s on Fire is starry eyed pop that glistens in the moonlight. Dreamy enough to distract even those most driven among us to slide into Wonderland, and containing a clever uncleared sample from Thurston Moore (ssshhh…) giving political edge, this is what pop music is supposed to be.
