You've heard it before: "we're overbooked"! Well, now more than ever... With new music from LACING, Soot Sprite, Newmoon and the RETURN of Monocism, we're already well burdened with fresh new sounds.

New music from Etherpool, Good Wilson, Wybercron, The Pink Elephants, Under Black Space, The Cherry Wave, Routine Death, […]
It IS New Tracks Weekend, and 80% of the tracks we're spinning up are fresh in the last week, 90% in the last month or so. Of course we've got the latest from Tennis System, DIIV and Nothing. But our headliners this weekend, a band we'd criminally overlooked during debut album in January: Waterloo, Ontario's EDDYEVVY (pictured above). What began as a melodic folk duo expanded into an immensely tuneful […]

Hold us to it. New shiny singles from Jay Som, Primitive Heart, Miriam Clancy, Slowcoaching, BELAU, An Ocean of […]
Now in its second year, Houston's Ethereal Fest launches this Saturday, January 19th, featuring a solid cast of Texas shoegaze and dream pop luminaries. Tickets for a nine-band bill are a bargain at $10 presale, $12 at door. With known names (well, known to our listeners anyway) like Glare, Angel Aura, Dottie, Processions, Daze, Fun With Ether and Astragal, it's a reverb-laden bonanza of sound and texture. We chatted up […]
So much fresh this weekend, so many headliner-worthy releases. Along with the new single from Blushing, we're repping the amazing new album from The Alisons (pictured above). This Kingston, Ontario three-piece is making a joyous noise that simply demands your attention. We've finally got hands on the new Single Lash LP, released today on Holodeck Records, with more creative choices per track than most new releases. New Miserable album, Loverboy, […]

We're thrilled to get hands round the new, complete EP from 波卡利甜 Pocari Sweet, who've teased us in the past with their glorious sonic swells. Plus we're deep into new tracks from Nax, the Cult of Lip, Black Sea, Plumerai, Fawns of […]
We are literally overloaded. There's so much great new music, it won't fit. We'll shove it all in and press it down anyway. From Philly's always compelling Crown of Pity, to Austin's continuing reverb dominance, in the imprint of Dottie (pictured above), there's a veritable plethora of exceptional new tunes, and we're thrilled to share 'em. True facts. There's even a surprise new single from Niights, as a teaser from […]
When you are so deluged with quality new music, you can spend literally all day, and still not feel you've done it justice. At some point, you've got to pull the pin and call it stellar. Of course it's release day for The Daysleepers and Creation, their first new album in a decade. Was it worth the extended wait? We're not the only ones raving, but we'll let you be […]
