While earning many rave reviews from the blogging community for their blend of art punk and indie rock, the band released several singles, one of which made single of the week in NME. The singles were collected on the debut LP Nine Times That Same Song, released by New York-based What's Your Rupture? in late 2005. After much touring through 2006 and 2007, Eriksson left the band and Love Is All continued on as a quartet. A Hundred Things Keep Me Up at Night and the remix album Love Is All Mixed Up arrived in 2008, along with Eriksson's replacement Åke Strömer (saxophone, keyboards). They are currently signed to the New York-based indie label What's Your Rupture?.

Love Is All Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Its squeezing shape
I guess I know you feel just fine
And another day is squeezing shut
And I guess I know you feel just fine
?
You give me way
And I pull the covers down
And I feel so shut out
I turn the radio off
Hey world I've had enough
And now I pull the covers down
I get all I need
And so much more
Stay out late for something more
I get all I need and so much more
Stay out late for something more
A mobile phone
Just let it ring
Cause friends they don't mean, mean a thing
And I pull the covers down
And I feel so shut out
I turn the radio off
Hey world I've had enough
And now I pull the covers down
And I feel so shut out
I turn the radio off
Hey listen world I've had enough!
Hey listen world I've had enough!
Hey listen world I've had enough!
Hey listen world I've, I've had enough!
In Love Is All's song "Turn the Radio Off," the lyrics describe a day that is coming to an end, and the singer seems to be struggling to come to terms with it.

Despite this desire for isolation, the singer also seems to long for something more, staying out late and seeking out experiences beyond their immediate surroundings.
The use of the mobile phone in the lyrics is interesting, as it is portrayed as something that is insignificant and unimportant. This could be a commentary on the importance placed on technology in modern society, and how it can sometimes feel isolating and alienating.
Overall, the lyrics of "Turn the Radio Off" convey a sense of disillusionment with the world and a desire for something more. The singer is struggling to come to terms with their situation and seeking comfort in isolation and avoidance.

Another day
Just another day
Its squeezing shape
The day feels constricting
I guess I know you feel just fine
Assuming that you feel okay
And another day is squeezing shut
The day is ending
You give me way
You provide me with an excuse
Give me an excuse to stay in bed
Allowing me to stay in bed
And I pull the covers down
Lowering the bed covers
And I feel so shut out
Feeling excluded
I turn the radio off
Switching off the radio
Hey world I've had enough
I'm fed up, world
And now I pull the covers down
Lowering the bed covers again
I get all I need
I have all that I require
And so much more
And much more besides
Stay out late for something more
Staying out later for more satisfaction
A mobile phone
A cellphone
Just let it ring
Ignore the incoming call
Cause friends they don't mean, mean a thing
Friends are not important
Hey listen world I've had enough!
I've had enough of the world
