Worse. – Inner Child

Some bands and artists out there are pulling major PR, with big Bandcamp features written about them, and a direct line to the college radio charts and tastemakers. And we don't begrudge them that, it takes a village to support an artist of quality. And then there's an artist like Dani Gentry, the creator of the Salem (or Portland, there's conflicting data there), Oregon "emogaze" imprint known as worse. (that's […]

Video Premiere: New Age Healers – “Don’t Let Me Go”

Regular listeners will surely know of New Age Healers. This Seattle squad fronted by guitarist and vocalist Owen Murphy has been a staple of guitar-based shoegaze and alternative rock, and a regular on our airwaves since 2016. They've also proven to be a regular and reliable draw at the annual Seagaze festival, where they've carved a direct channel to fans with their crisp songwriting that doesn't rely solely on ample […]

Blushing – The Fires

It's not really supposed to happen this way. By the time the third single from a forthcoming album drops, you can often expect an attendant drop in quality. This is not that, in fact, far from it. We, like the rest of the shoegaze-loving world, have been waiting for the February 18th release of Blushing's Possessions LP on Kanine Records. The first two singles were understandably a cut above, reaching […]

Älägator – Unen Syvyydessä

There are anomalies, there are outliers, and there's Älägator. A Finn-inspired quintet that was born in Edinburgh, U.K. (currently residing in NYC), specializing in a sort of slowcore dream pop that takes you to the outer reaches of imagination. While the instrumentation is tightly and deftly controlled, it belies a certain fragility, in that it feels like it can fall apart at any moment. If you're looking for comparisons, keep […]

Caroline Loveglow – Patience Etc…

Can't tell you much about Caroline Loveglow. Los Angeles-based, signed to George Clanton and Negative Gemini's 100% Electronica label specializing in chill and vaporwave releases, and due to land at Austin's esteemed Levitation Festival on 29 October. So what's all this buzz? Shades of Cocteau Twins are the obvious touchstone here, but there's so much more to it than that. Out-of-the box thinking here, but this seems to have sprung […]

Kraus – “Glass Valley”

Will Kraus has been fêted by so many, including us, for setting up base camp and thriving on the overclocked edge of the sound since End Tomorrow in 2016. The epic and unforgettable Path LP in 2018 was a high watermark in tuneful noise and propulsion, the lead single "Bum" with its air raid sirens and bombast never quite concealing a twisted internalized warmth. It's a duality that serves the […]

Wednesday – “One More Last One”

We've been anticipating the single drops for the upcoming Wednesday album, drop by drop. This Asheville, North Carolina quintet are stumbling towards excellence with every step forward. By now you may have heard "Handsome Man", one of the singles in hot rotation on our air. But all is tease, all is temptation, as there's so many more facets to this band, revealing on the Twin Plagues LP release this 13 […]

Catching up with Lightfoils, 2021 Edition

New song. New video. New cast? Seems like a whole lot has been going on with Lightfoils. We last checked in with the crew in August 2019, pre-covid, as the future still looked limitless. As cornerstone artists on the DKFM platform, it's up to us to find out what's going on now, and what it means for this talented lot going forward. We caught up with the modified cast of […]

Video Premiere: Crystal Canyon – “Luminous”

If you have any familiarity with the station, you know we're pretty keen on Crystal Canyon. With the new album, yours with affection and sorrow, already pegged to compete with the top ten albums of 2021 by year's end, this band of sonic veterans is already well regarded in these studios. What makes the sound so special? It's not terribly complex, it doesn't bend or break genre rules, or take […]
