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 […]
Two years on from the release of their last album, Bright Smiles & Broken Hearts, DKFM favourites and shoegaze pals Whimsical are back with their new LP, Melt. The band, Krissy Vanderwoude (words) and Neil Burkdoll (music), gave us a taster of what was to come with the single ‘Gravity' last summer. With my appetite truly whetted I was ready for the album to land and here it is. So, […]
It’s been a year since their stunning debut album Death of a Very Good Machine and Eep are back with their sophomore release Winter Skin. Bands tend to place a bit more time between albums but with a global pandemic stopping live shows and a band full of creative minds there’s no stopping Eep. The debut album predominately featured the lush vocals of Rosie Varela. This time the band have […]
"Why are you so late?" you cried, and it's a fair question. But it's Bandcamp fee-free Friday, so of course we were tasked with culling hundreds of new tracks and release notifications in a few short hours. And we're as up-to-date as we can be. We're spinning up the newest releases from Bloody Knives, There's Talk, Crystal Canyon (new album teaser at that!), the return of the mighty Vibragun (pictured […]
We're honored to trot out a number of world broadcast premieres from TBTCI Records. Renato Malizia has once again outdone himself, stitching together a new and exclusive compilation of dreamy, bendy tunes entitled, Come On Feel The NoiZe, BraZil Class '17, released on Bandcamp June 9th. If you listen to DKFM, you'll be well familiar with most of these artists: The Sorry Shop, Kid Foguete, Céus de Abril, Justine Never Knew […]
This month's new release buzz has all been about Nothing and Pity Sex. And there's nowt wrong with that. Both are road warriors who've earned their audience, and their acclaim. May we add to this esteemed group an artist who has spent years honing and sharpening an amazing sound: Dale Humphries' Voices From Deep Below. Their fourth studio LP, This Place Will Raise Up, is woozy, tuneful, and fully anthemic. […]
We've been stalking Melbourne's hazy Crimsonettes for six months now. Early Soundcloud posts let us know there was something sparkly going on here, and all we had to do was wait for an official release date. We even begged for a pre-release track to push on air, which they graciously allowed for. Now they've finally released the EP they've promised, and it's a stunner. Sickly Sweet EP released to Bandcamp […]
All of four hours old, the amazingly tuneful Star Horse released the video for their new single, "Slower Now". While we're traditionally not "about" videos, it's always amazing to see a credible independent band grab the medium by the horns and shake it. And last week's release of the towering single cried out for some panoramic vistas and gritty accents. Classic 80's/90's basslines uplift slightly off-kilter chords, leading to Maja […]
In the middle of the night, Santa snuck in and dropped the new release from Crisis Arm, Fetch. Perhaps their most confident, self-assured release to date, Crisis Arm continues to evolve melodically and structurally. You've heard several choice cuts in permanent rotation on our air, now's your chance to get your own copy (finally), and at a name-your-price flagyl sale online format, you really can't lose! Cassette release expected shortly […]
