It's a rough week to be promoting new music. Imagine waking up and finding you have three times the normal raft of quality submissions to program. This is that week. We could have any of multiple headliners this weekend, each deserving of your full and undivided listening attention. That we have this many world class artists releasing this week is just testament to how amazing a year this will be […]
So much new, so much now. We'll spend the weekend celebrating Anak Ko, the new LP from Jay Som. Richly textured, warm and expressive, it's the kind of "level up" long-time fans have waited for. The new album from Mermaidens (pictured above) released today, and it's an angular adventure through dream pop, and Look Me in the Eye will grow on you with each repeated listen. New single tracks from […]
Things. New things. Lots of new things. We're loaded for a hot summer weekend, and turning up the heat! From cagey veterans like The Ocean Blue and Tennis System, to new but compelling sounds from relative newcomers like Dottie and Fern Murphy (pictured above), we're spinning to impress you this weekend. Hold us to it. New shiny singles from Jay Som, Primitive Heart, Miriam Clancy, Slowcoaching, BELAU, An Ocean of […]
From Jay Som to Sungaze, from The Blue Herons to Indoor Voices, from Sugar Violets to flowerbed, we've got the weekend covered. All of the above packed in, plus the newest releases from Daydream Cathedral, Bodywash, Tide Bends, Noah, Death and Vanilla, Starry Eyed Cadet, Russian Baths, kinoue64, Drowse, syrup go on, Deconstructed Company, Dogwood Lung, Art Dave, Daze, April Blue, Tokyo Tea Room, The Black Watch, and so much […]
Did nobody take the Winter holidays off? So many new releases! Well, so much the better for us (and for you, the listener). New music from Brazil, from upstart shoegazers Terraplana (pictured above), whose exílio EP is rich and full of youthful charm. Of course we've got the new single from Linda Guilala, which we had the honor of premiering two days ago. Of course today sees the release of the […]
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, […]
Everything came out this week (or, today). No, really. Don't know if you'd marked this date on your calendar, we sure hadn't. But the heavens opened up, and spilled all these new releases all over us. An embarrassment of tuneage. New EPs from No Joy, Funeral Advantage, Kindling, and VENN. All that, this week. New LPs from Whimsical, King Woman and Froth. All that, this week. Plus we (finally) catch […]
It's Friday the 13th as we write this, yet we see it as a day to celebrate. For instance, who knew the new Slowdive single was in the pipeline, and released just yesterday? If you're looking for something special about this new year, that's sure to kick it off right. So of course we're showcasing the new Slowdive single, "Star Roving", but we're also heavily into the new release from […]
Mein gott in himmel! Tough enough coordinating an epic weekend of new music, but when iTunes Store and eMusic go down simultaneously, all bets are off. Was our hope to include Japan's premiere shoegaze band, The Florist, but it looks like that may have to wait a bit. The good news? Brand new Kindling, in advance of their hotly-anticipated upcoming LP (preorders up now). Also, new Jay Som arrived today, […]
