Single release by The Radio Dept. originally released on vinyl in Japan only but also issued on cd in Sweden. According to the band's official site, the single may be seen as a new direction of style with influences from German krautrock and bands like NEU!, Faust and Kraftwerk.
I really don't hear much of the German sources here, but think it's more noise pop-founded than both their previous and forthcoming albums. None of the tracks are ordinary album tracks, but tracks #1 and #2 are included on the fine compilation album Passive Aggressive: Singles 2002-2010 from 2011.
