Managing huge projects and deadlines WHILE compiling a full New Tracks Weekend program (on Bandcamp Friday, no less!). Over budget, but on time. We can do this while dancing backwards, wearing high heels. So let's freaking gooooo. Headliners include the return of Beirut's Postcards (with another stunner), Graywave (pictured above, with probably this project's strongest and most enduring single to date), Beach Fossils, and Letting Up Despite Great Faults. But […]
From scorching global temperatures to a loss of bodily autonomy for over 50% of the American population, it seems the wrong time to celebrate groundbreaking new music ("Don't you know? The world is breaking apart!"). And that's true, so far as it goes. But as the world has been breaking apart for nearly a decade now (at least), we welcome those who've only just now caught up. Meanwhile, we'll do […]
New albums from 93millionmilesfromthesun (reviewed here), Tambourina (pictured above), Sleepwalk, Tape Deck Mountain. New music from Graywave, JAUS, Ellis, The Florist, and Sindy. And that's just the frontline of fresh sounds competing for attention this weekend. We've got sneak peeks of forthcoming releases from Alles Club, and One Hundred Moons, that you'll hear nowhere else. And we're spinning up choice cuts from Golden Death Music, Lavender Blush, Morellas, Talking Violet, […]

Join me and my travelling companion Deborah Sexton as we get back on the road with The Velvet Hum Radio Show Goes to England. It won’t surprise you to discover we have […]
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 […]

We kick off the weekend with the expansive new LP from Seasurfer. It's practically two albums in one, with the sweeping grandeur Seasurfer is known for, and a danceable backbeat that keeps the synth haze fully focused and in frame. It's like the Christmas bonus you weren't expecting, but thrilled to open. We're also keen on the new singles from Leeds artist Bored at My Grandmas House (pictured above). With […]
We have a lot to catch up on. Not just this week's new sonic flourishes in rotation, but last... we brought you so much new stuff, but failed to tell you what it was! We'll try to rectify the error now. This week, we're deep into the new releases from RAY, Daybehavior, Fragile Animals (pictured above), Los Marcianos, For Tracy Hyde, Babe Corner, Luby Sparks, Bathe, CAPITOL, Secret Knives, Chrome […]
