It's Brief Candles week. With all the newness we've shoveled into the big weekend, Brief Candles' new LP stands head and shoulders above the rest, and not just because it seems we've waited forever for it. So we'll be celebrating that release this weekend, and many weeks to come. But we have so much more on offer. The new EP from Japan's CQ shows a return to epic form. We've […]
A new weekend means a new boatload of fresh tracks begging your attention and devotion. We'll spin choice cuts from the forthcoming Pia Fraus LP, Field Ceremony, due next week on Shelflife Records. We're also heavy-rotating the new singles from The Daysleepers, Candace, Tearjerker, Submeet, Biltmore Dive, A Thousand Hours, Cloakroom, Lanark, Secret Meadow, Vast Asteroid (album drops November, keep eyes peeled!), Zombie Girlfriend and more. Plus, EPs from Ysgol […]
Pretend you're us. You start out thinking you've got not much to add to the New Tracks Weekend rotation. Then, 24 hours before air, seems like your wheelbarrow is overloaded with new additions. And, even as you sideload and cut promo for all the new music, you realize you've lost another three new releases you'd intended to shine a spotlight on. This is us. Sometimes more, sometimes less, but usually […]
Releasing into the wild on 21 July, the first issue from Dut Dut Dut Dut LLC, the Summer of Shimmer 17 mixtape. A project months in the making, Mike Contreras and Co. wanted to simultaneously celebrate the scene that celebrates itself, promote new and emerging artists, and plant a flag to represent their new imprint. Half of these tracks are brand new, never before heard, and exclusive to this compilation. […]
All the new music, all of the time. Shiny new music from Taiwan's Cat in the Case (pictured, above), both fuzzy and jangly. The new release from Houseplants generating buzz in the studio. The new double-single from Dakota is a joy to behold. TBTCI's Stereolab tribute album is full of gems. New Speedy Ortiz, Shady Bug, The Dreamtoday, Morning TV (welcome back!), See Through Dresses, plant cell, Mermaidens, Spotlights, Laedj, […]
Cup runneth over. New Tracks Weekend this weekend features the newest and brightest stars in the firmament. Kicking off with a few choice cuts from the forthcoming Panda Riot LP, due in June. Plus we've got the latest pre-release tracks from My Favorite Things, Ciel, Processions, Foliage and more, before you'll hear them anywhere else! And we'll shovel in the new releases from 93millionmilesfromthesun, Colour of Spring, Supercandy, Volunteer Cheerleader, Swimming […]
Epic. It's a huge weekend for us, as we pack in a wealth of music for the weekend. Some brand new, some that we were blissfully ignorant of until this week. For instance, Electro Group. They've been churning out compelling music off and on for nearly two decades, and we only heard about them following this new release? That's our failing. Sacramento's Electro Group may have their influences clearly stamped, […]
