Running Out of Love is the fourth studio album by Swedish indie pop band The Radio Dept., released on 21 October 2016. Their first LP since 2010's Clinging to a Scheme, Running Out of Love was delayed by a legal battle with their record label Labrador and inspired by "life in Sweden in 2016".[1]
The first single "Occupied" was released on a three-track EP of the same name on 16 June 2015 on a limited run of 1,000 12" records.[2][3] The second single "Swedish Guns" was released over a year later, on 31 August 2016,[4] followed by the third single "We Got Game" on 7 October 2016[5] and fourth single "Teach Me to Forget" on 14 July 2017.[6]
The album was shortlisted by IMPALA (The Independent Music Companies Association) for the Album of the Year Award 2016, which rewards on a yearly basis the best album released on an independent European label.[7]
