From scorching global temperatures to a loss of bodily autonomy for over 50% of the American population, it seems the wrong time to celebrate groundbreaking new music ("Don't you know? The world is breaking apart!"). And that's true, so far as it goes. But as the world has been breaking apart for nearly a decade now (at least), we welcome those who've only just now caught up. Meanwhile, we'll do […]
Never a dull moment in these studios. We kick off the weekend with the newest sounds from COLLAPSE, Resplandor (pictured above), Fotoform, and a sneak peek of the forthcoming album from Pliocene (Jeff Kandefer of Daysleepers epic side project). Rumored to drop soon (next weekend?), and you've already heard several of the singles on our air, we've got a taste of what you haven't heard yet from the LP Get […]
Optimized for weekend shine... that's the job, and we're here for it. First among equals, we're celebrating the forthcoming album release from Citrus Clouds. Collider is packed wall to wall with tunes, deftly executed, and sets a creative high water mark for the band. We're chuffed to be able to tease out a few key tracks this weekend, in advance of next week's release. Second (but no less impactful), we're […]
Bloody 'ell though. First the website hosting company suffers a fatal error, taking hours to recover. Then we get multiple messages from Europe, suggesting our broadcast had collapsed (it hadn't, the E.U. is experiencing an internet usage surge that's straining capacity). Then Bandcamp offers up a full day where they give all purchase money raised direct to platform artists, without taking their usual administrative cut... and they've been able to […]
Bounty. So much new material, Among the stars we celebrate this weekend: the new EP from Collapse (pictured above), and striking new tunes we've somehow not been aware of 'til now from Toronto's Away Forward. New releases abound from All About Rockets, Sonder, Bolinas, Dama Scout, Frankenchrist, dreamswell, Daysee, Creature In The Spiral, Meringue, Nameless Dreampop (actual band name!), Nurse, Pale Shade, Relay Tapes, Tapeworms, Uniforms, Warm, Fuzzy Feeling, Vacations, […]
It's Friday the 13th as we write this, yet we see it as a day to celebrate. For instance, who knew the new Slowdive single was in the pipeline, and released just yesterday? If you're looking for something special about this new year, that's sure to kick it off right. So of course we're showcasing the new Slowdive single, "Star Roving", but we're also heavily into the new release from […]
How many headliners can you pack into one weekend? We shall see. We've got today's new releases from Crescendo, Wild Nothing, and The Telewire, a broadcast premiere from Walking Misery, new music from Japan's Collapse, Estonia's She Bit Her Lip (giving Pinkshinyultrablast a run for their money!), Austin's Ask For Joy, Fir Cone Children, Tape Deck Mountain, We Are Temporary, Good Personalities, Jupitamoon, Svankropp, and topped with world broadcast premieres […]
