New Tracks Weekend

New Tracks Weekend, November 25-27, 2022

We are stuffed to the gills with fresh and breaking tracks, and ready to serve while hot. Headliners include Soft Blue Shimmer (pictured above), who appear determined to assert themselves in the Top Albums of 2022 debate before the year comes to a close, with a platter packed with subtle yet crucial cuts, no slack from end to end. It's simply outstanding in a field of lesser efforts, and this […]

New Tracks Weekend

New Tracks Weekend, November 5-7

Bandcamp Fridays are like National Election Day in these studios. The sheer volume of fresh new sounds vying for attention increases fivefold. No matter. We're here to sort the wheat from the ...lesser wheat, to bring the best home to you. Multiple headliners this weekend for your consideration: EEP's long-awaited Winter Skin LP unlocked this morning, and it's got three layers of warmth and charm, wrapped in a sonic hug. […]

New Tracks Weekend

New Tracks Weekend, February 5-7

Deadlines. Sure, we were fully three hours late updating weekend rotation library. Sure, we're posting our artist roster at stupid o'clock the following morning. Because it is (er, was) Bandcamp Friday, and our inbox literally imploded. As it does on these special days. Such is life: we put in the hard work, support the artists, and bring the best to your ears. Wouldn't have it otherwise. Featured artists this weekend […]

New Tracks Weekend

New Tracks Weekend, August 31-September 2

We're packed in, ready for the weekend. Crept up to deadline worried that there wasn't enough material. Once commenced to digging through the week's fresh material, of course we're overbooked. Me of little faith. New music from Wild Nothing (released today), Subsonic Eye (pictured above), and the long-awaited XO release (previewed here). And that's just the tip of the iceberg. New music from Ultra Material, True Primitives, Nameless Dreampop, Fake […]

Premiere Stream: Glare – Void In Blue

Even with their first release in April 2017, Glare proved they were no fluke. When you think of Texas hotspots for shoegaze and churning guitar waves, the Rio Grande Valley doesn't pop immediately to mind. At the southernmost tip of South Texas, only the Rio Grande River separates it from Mexico. But you're not here for a geography lesson, you're here for great music. This is that. Into You EP […]
