First full weekend of 2022, and we're lit. Our headliners are The Voices, whose we just want to be ourselves was deeply profiled earlier this week by staff wordsmith Marky Anderson. Our additional headliners (because there's so much to be celebrated), Did You Die (pictured above) finally unveiled their Thirteen Moons release, and while some you know from early singles, there's even more to be in thrall to. Also of […]
Even partway through a busy release week, and we recognized there would be a pile of quality sounds to sort through, more than in the last several weeks combined. That's the kind of challenge we tend to rise to. This weekend's sonic headliners include Tape Waves, who stealth-released a new album today, on both domestic and international labels you'll know well if you're a regular listener. The new singles from […]
If we're late, it's not a shock. So much new music this week, compiling and recompiling playlists for your consideration should come as no surprise. From the return of station favorites Balms, Contrast and Indoor Voices, to fresh gems from Kero Kero Bonito, Lilac Melt, Manon meurt, Chasms, Darksoft, Did You Die... we're well overbooked. The new single from The Churchill Garden (featuring Demi Haynes of Seashine) is a right stunner, […]
Are we overbooked? Of course we are. New Tracks Weekend this weekend features the freshest and brightest from the scene, domestically and around the world. We've even got a broadcast premiere or three. We're bumping the new album from Trench (pictured), which should grab your attention immediately: epic, bendy, swoopy. And, no, we've never used the term swoopy in "print" before. So there's that. New Mainlight EP is all you […]
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 […]
Our cup overfloweth. Brand new music from Thud, and only a select few have access to it for airplay. Great band, great tune, great video, premiered on Sounds Better With Reverb. New sounds from Strange Relations, Turnip King, The Florist (we'll go deep with the full album), The Indigo Palms, Big Deal, Boyfriend's Dead, Did You Die, Foliage, Ghost Box Orchestra, Heavy Heart, Omega Vague, Porcelain Raft, Tonemirror, João Bispo […]
We are well ready for the weekend. And this weekend's New Tracks Weekend is sure to please. We're discovering Germany's Dress, and wondering how we'd missed them all this time. A dreamy and passionate cocktail of jangle and reverb that's sure to grab your attention. Plus we've got the newest music from Did You Die, Fazerdaze, The Great Artiste, Future Age, Dead Leaf Echo, Shoreline Is, Soft Science, The Luxembourg […]
NEW TRACKS WEEKEND. We're ready. We're premiering the first two singles from Wray's spectacular Hypatia LP, due in January. We'll be pushing them for two months, so get used to the awesome. We're also catching up with The Dagger Complex. New to us, and terribly embarrassed to have missed this. Making up for it now. Plus new music from South Carolina's exquisitely textured Lightness, worth your attention. New earworms from […]
We're going BIG this weekend, with a lot of new releases demanding attention. Swervedriver's new album I Wasn't Born to Lose You is just the tip of the iceberg. We're also heavily featuring a brand new candidate for #AOTY2K15, Seattle's Winnebago with At Home, an album filled with lush, dreamy songwriting and a sound you'll fall for. New music from Boca River (a little shimmer, a little shoegaze, a little […]
