All of their album covers are great. Tender Buttons comes in as a close second but the design of this debut is just so sleek.

Honestly I could put any of their album covers here, I love that they all feel like artifacts from some Other version of history, they all have a character that really speaks to the atmosphere the album is going for. But this one always sticks out to me, it's simple in a similar way to the cover of Music For Airports, but the bold colouring gives it a foreboding atmosphere as well. So simple in concept but still so vivid somehow

The Radio Dept is a band that I feel is severely under appreciated. This album will always hold a special place in my heart. Definitely in my personal top 10.
It's like a nice warm hug of Northern European lo-fi reverb-laden goodness.
This is also my go-to daytime high album. It's sunshine in sound. Carefree incarnate. Peace, bliss, and fuzz. A good buzz/trip guarantee. Go ahead and give it a try.

Honestly, I hate picking favorites when it comes to music. But I'm literally listening to this one right now, and really, there's not a month I haven't heard this album in the last 20 years. And when I listen, it's always the whole thing. How perfect is this album? Just perfect. Is it for you? If you have any room in your heart for perfect pop structures, clean—yet oh so heartfelt—execution and that perfect mix of bitter and sweet. If you like jangly guitars, harmonies and the best qualities of 90s radio, please give it a shot.

In fact they’re working against you, especially women of colour. 84% of Tinder users are men, Bumble’s earnings have gone down hugely since its IPO (thereby further increasing their need to make a profit off subscriptions), Hinge is hiding hot people behind a paywall. People are sick of getting lovebombed and ghosted.
But we don’t need them—there’s more to life than apps—and people are beginning to seek connections in person again.
