Producer Paul Statham (Kylie Minogue, Dido), came up with the idea for Radioland back in 2009 while reading Shepard's award collection, Motel Chronicles. All he needed was to find a group of like-minded artists willing to assist him in making the project a reality.

Step forward the Dark Flowers, a super group of sorts assembled by Statham - Jim Kerr (Simple Minds), Dot Allison (Massive Attack), Peter Murphy (Bauhaus), singer Shelley Poole, enigmatic folky Helicopter Girl, Norwegian artist Kate Havevnik, and critically acclaimed Catherine A.D. Taking almost three years to come to fruition, Radioland represents a record brimming with enough diverse personalities to draw divine inspiration of its own.
