Ewan

This was the Radio Dept.'s first release with the label XL Records. In 2004 XL promoted and distributed Radio Dept records with Europe and North America. The EP was intended to promote the Radio Dept's debut album, Lesser Matters (now being released on XL), which had already achieved success in Sweden & the UK thanks to Labrador & Shelflife records respectively. The title is based on the mispronunciation of lead singer Johan Duncansson’s name by his relatives when he lived in Scotland as a child. The EP contains 3 tracks. The 1st, Ewan, is taken from the album Lesser Matters. The second, Slottet, is an instrumental that pays homage (with its title) to the Radio Dept's original self managed independent record label & recording studio. The third and final song is The things that went wrong.
