A raft of fresh sounds so large, we got delayed just sorting through all the tunes! New album releases to celebrate: Stella Diana, Caroline Loveglow, and Deserta (pictured above) all unlocked this weekend, and we'll treat your ears. We're also hyped about the freshest releases from The Veldt and Ammonia Wash (both of which saw world premieres on our air this week!), as well as the debut EP from Reaching […]

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 […]

The new Lowtide album is finally out. So that's a celebration. The Ride EP is finally fully released, so that's a celebration. The new Dead Vibrations is in hand, and it's got glorious fuzz all over it. Brilliant new music from Dean Garcia's new side-piece, Blurred City Lights, and today's release of the debut LP of Daydream Cathedral. WARM, Night Flowers, VLMV, The Voices, Seventeen Years, epic bends from Prisms, […]
Epic. It's a huge weekend for us, as we pack in a wealth of music for the weekend. Some brand new, some that we were blissfully ignorant of until this week. For instance, Electro Group. They've been churning out compelling music off and on for nearly two decades, and we only heard about them following this new release? That's our failing. Sacramento's Electro Group may have their influences clearly stamped, […]
