Bandcamp Friday, and we're unsurprisingly overbooked. And headliners are plentiful. We lead with a sneak peek of the upcoming album from Wollongong, Australia's Miners. We've been spinning talented this squad since 2015, and they're ready for their close-up. We celebrate two Bandcamp Friday releases: Field Mouse's covers/reimaginings album Memory Card has more deep charm than you can shake a stick at, and why would you want to shake a stick […]
Our voters stand up for their favorites, and shout them out. Perhaps not quite literally, but users of the DKFM app vote for their favorite tracks consistently, helping us shape our playlists and rotation weightings. And, often as we are able, we reflect the love back on our listeners, compiling the most-loved tunes of the time. These shoegaze and dream pop charts, closed on September 15, give a credible idea […]
As a programmer, one can get nervous. It's hours until Friday, and while you've got some quality new musics, you're holding out for magic. But then the clock strikes Friday, and everything you hoped for is released at once. From Ride's anticipated new LP, This Is Not A Safe Place, to the long awaited follow up album from Field Mouse (pictured above), Meaning, which is pretty much everything you'd hope […]
We have the new. So much newness. And we're loaded for the weekend. New music from Soft Blue Shimmer, New Age Healers, Field Mouse, MOLLY, and Annie Hamilton kick it off. But there's so much more to be celebrated. We're spinning up the new tracks from the Blush Response/WARM split, and it's so damn good to have both back making music. We're shining up and shooting out new music from […]
So much the new! Headlined by the new LP from Kindling, worth the wait, worth your attention. New music from rotation staples Whimsical and Angel Falls, each taking what they do, focusing and amplifying on an impressive original blueprint that makes both so special. New music from Hoops, in anticipation of a killer EP to come. The new Field Mouse LP, Episodic, we'll go deep with. A glittering new track […]
Surprised by the stealth release of the new Raveonettes LP Pe'ahi. Unsurprised by the excellence of the new Field Mouse LP Hold Still Life. It's been a busy week for new music, and we'll dump it all over you all weekend. Brand new haze from The Noise Tigers. Fresh curiosities from Bummed, of Somerville Mass. A fuller experience of The Florist LP Dark Entries (big in Japan, big with our […]

March is coming to a close, and thus ends our first quarter of 2013. Every quarter we'll break down staff picks the top tracks dropped, and tell you why they're important. Next week we'll share the top 25 by listener votes! 1. kinoko teikoku (きのこ帝国) – ユーリカ Out of nowhere. Perfectly straddling post-rock and shoegaze, this song is purely audacious. Broke the rules. And produced an amazing piece of art […]
