Bandcamp Fridays are like National Election Day in these studios. The sheer volume of fresh new sounds vying for attention increases fivefold. No matter. We’re here to sort the wheat from the …lesser wheat, to bring the best home to you. Multiple headliners this weekend for your consideration: EEP’s long-awaited Winter Skin LP unlocked this morning, and it’s got three layers of warmth and charm, wrapped in a sonic hug. The first full-length album from Hammock in two years is packed with hazy vistas and tender flourishes that remind you why Hammock is venerated among our audience. And the new EP from Atlanta’s Radium Jaw (hat tip to Paul Lopez of The Shoegaze Collective) is sticky, sure to cling to your consciousness with repeated listens. And finally, Sadness… overclocked, overcompressed, overlong… and no less brilliant for it. We may have “trimmed” a track or three for radio purposes, but we’d encourage you to dive deep. Amongst our sonic weaponry this weekend, we’re long Nylon Smile, Otterlarke, SEABLITE, Morosis, llawgne, Snail Mail, The Acharis, Subzero Fun, Ursula, Sun Bruised, Valley Palace, Zed Point, Ищейка, Magnus Josefsson, Seabirth, Horse Show, Lazy Queen, Hana Vu, Black Swan Lane, GLARE, 9 Volt Velvet, Daniel Trainor-McKinnon, Fever Cult, cecilia::eyes, The Black Veils, and so much more. Even this paragraph is rather bloody long, innit?
And that’s in addition to last weekend’s fresh sonic injections, including Blushing, NewDad, Letting Up Despite Great Faults, Soot Sprite, ZILCHED, Midsommar, Thelma’s Dream, Blush, Blush Response, Fawns of Love, Bad Idea, Caroline Loveglow, crush, Fun With Ether, Murmure, Sleep Overload, Tús Nua, Sungazer, Dharmacide, Звёздная Грань, Amparo Carmen Teresa Yolanda, Bad Bloom, FERRARILOVER, Cold Gawd, Caoilfhionn Rose and a whole lot more. Buckle in.
New Tracks Weekend is launched at 8 pm Eastern, 5 pm Pacific, and continues through Sunday at midnight Eastern, 9 Pacific. It’s the first weekend we’ll spin some of these tracks, and may be the last weekend for some others. Remember, you can listen listen via the station playlist page at DKFM, on Icecast, and on TuneIn Radio for iPhone/Android/Windows. Limited beta: we’re now up on Mixcloud Live, website AND app, if that’s a thing you’d dig. Plus we have our branded apps for Apple’s iOS and Android: listeners can vote on all the new tracks, helping us determine what graduates to permanent rotation. Your voice counts! We’re live-scrobbling once again via last.fm. Now you’ll know what you heard, or catch up on what you missed. Keep up with our new Facebook group for some real-time discussions of what you’ve heard, and sound off!
And, as always, thanks for listening, and thank you for your support.
