New Tracks Weekend, September 15-17, 2023

Dense-packed and loaded down with fresh tunes, we emerge from our music-hole triumphant. Or something like that. This weekend's headliners include several long-awaited releases: Dead Leaf Echo and Subsonic Eye (pictured above) both released long-players that have fans cheering. We're also really keen on breaking new sounds from Drop Nineteens, Atmos Bloom, My Sister Maura, Gloomer, Fazerdaze, Yumi Zouma, and airattic. But even that only scratches the surface: we're digging […]

New Tracks Weekend, September 8-10, 2023

We're packed to the rafters with new tunes, and we're ready to roll. This weekend, we're celebrating new sonic sparkles from Misty Coast, Blush, Echo Ladies, bloom effect, Drift, sunshy, THALA, Whitelands, Dead Leaf Echo, and Soft Science (pictured above, new LP on Shelflife released today). So the headliners are beyond reproach. But we'll dig so much deeper: new live session from Softcult on offer, plus new sounds from Vyva […]

New Tracks Weekend, October 28-30, 2022

A bit spooky, really... didn't expect to compile another 90 fresh tracks on the last weekend of the month, but some amazing artists have some impressive things to say, calendar be damned. And we're here for it. Top headliners this weekend include Sobs and Aerofall (album covers pictured above). Pound for pound, track by track, two incredibly consistent and compelling releases demanding your attention. But there's so much more to […]

New Tracks Weekend, January 21-23, 2022

When over half of your "new adds" to rotation already generate a heavier rotation weighting, it means that the shoegaze and dream pop heavy hitters have come to play. And oh have they! We're thrilled to trot out the newest and brightest offerings from Basement Revolver (pictured above), Dead Leaf Echo, Coming Up Roses, Hatchie, Secret Towns, Japanese Heart Software, Hollow Graves, SOM, Imandra Lake and more! Not even second-tier […]

Besides winning fans and playing festivals, they were blessed to be invited to perform live in studio at KEXP […]

New release bonanza! Everybody's long-awaited favorites are released today. Some thought we might not get a new LP from Airiel before the next extinction-level event, but ours is a just God. Molten Young Lovers is out today on Shelflife, and Airiel (pictured above, in a throwback to their boy band days) delivers all they've promised, with change to spare. If you've not got it yet, we'll try to convince you […]
