• The album is about Dave's lifelong passion for radio technology. "It sounds like you've got a radio tuned to some static and you spin the dial, and the song pops out of it. And then you spin the dial again, and the song dissolves back into the static," he says. Each song represents an important turning point in Dave's life: "The idea of Radio Songs is me spinning through the dial."
• "HK" contains snippets from radio broadcasts Dave recorded in Hong Kong while making Blur's The Magic Whip.
• The album details were leaked by Diverse Vinyls and Rough Trade a couple of weeks before the official album announcement.
• Total running time: 37:30
