“impossibly catchy”  NPR

“charmingly evocative”  TIME

“ …a perfectly eerie throwback piece of indie pop.” – NYLON

“ …full of charming, winsome (but not too winsome) indiepop that will appeal to fans of Camera Obscura and The Rosebuds.” – BrooklynVegan

“ …brings listeners back to the heyday of bossa nova and lounge tunes, while adding its own electronica flair.” – MAGNET

Radiation City will release their highly anticipated sophomore studio album Animals In The Median, May 21, 2013 via Tender Loving Empire. Effortlessly blending vintage soul with modern electronic sounds, the full album is streaming exclusively with WNYC “Check Ahead all week.

It was only natural that the Portland quintet would team up with TxE’s G_Force, who they met on a Portland basketball court, to remix the entire album. Watch a mini-documentary about how the project came to be. Aptly titled A Different Animal, the genre-bending collaboration will be released on June 18 and features Radiation City hooks combined with others. The final effort distorts the original samples until they’re almost unrecognizable set to a backdrop of pounding 808s. The collaborating emcees come from all corners of the US hip hop scene. Notables include everyone from Academy Award-winning Juicy J & underground hip hop heavy weights Strong Arm Steady to Chicago’s trumpeteering R&B dark horse Sam Trump & Oregonian duo Sandpeople’s Sapient.

The band has revealed the first A Different Animal single today. Check out the“Zombies” (G_Force Remix f. TxE) MP3 where it premiered with Jay-Z’s Life+Times orHERE.

Take audiences on a journey through time, Radiation City kicks off a national tour this month. The band has shared stages with Pickwick, Caveman, YACHT, The Walkmen, Unknown Mortal Orchestra and more. Be sure to catch the band’s entrancing live show on tour!
