The Calm After the Storm... Yes, we spun a new configuration of New Tracks Weekend last weekend, but given all the events of last weekend (Kalamashoegazer, Panda Riot/Brief Candles/Lightfoils, Slowdive), we didn't properly promote the new material. Yes, you are all due a travelogue on last week's epic midwestern swing by DKFM staff, but we're holding off until the edited video evidence of our journey comes in. We say all […]
When there's so much new music to promote that we can't even keep our dates straight? That's a helluva month. And we're topping last week already (but we'll keep dates accurate this time). Airiel and Miniatures headline. Both albums dropping soon, surely you've preordered by now? But we've also been granted a few choice cuts from The Morelings debut LP, dropping next week. If we haven't gotten you excited about […]
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 […]
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 […]
You think you got nothing shiny and new for New Tracks Weekend, then, BOOM. Everything at once. Brand-spanking new singles from Sheer, Kindling and Bleak House headline the weekend. All three bands have a sterling reputation for quality output in these studios, and deserve all the kudos they get. But that's not all! We go long with the new album from Tape Waves, always sparkling: fall in love with Here […]
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, […]
We got this. Spend all weekend with epic tunes from Kindling and Brilliant Beast (we're going long with both), plus new music from Half, Ether Feels, Lazy Legs, Vapour Night, Flavor Crystals, Bloom Waves, Versing, Slowdive, Cloak, Appeal to Heaven, Le 1991 and 800Beloved. Plus we finally catch up with Hollow Sunshine, now on tour. That's not to ignore our most recent shiny spins from The Cherry Wave / Airs […]
We are weekending. We've dense-packed some real sparklers to shimmer in the summer haze. We're long Spain's Ghost Transmission, and we're finally pushing the full LP from the PNW's sonic kingpin Erik Blood, with the impressive Touch Screens. But there's so much more on offer this weekend, including new music from Thrushes, Everything Fades, Beach House, some bloody epic bangers from Bristol's Milk Teeth, new textures from Noir For Rachel, […]
We've stuffed in a bunch of new, with a sprinkling of old. New music from Lowtide, Power Pyramid, The Bilinda Butchers, Whirr, The Raveonettes, Kindling, HYLA, and Blonde Tongues. Sprinkle in Bellavista, The Koniac Net, YUKI, Spiral Life, Miracle Falls, Plastic Girl in Closet, TYYNYT, UmbraSum and rayos y manchas. Press it all down, shake it up, pour over ice. Repeat, all weekend. 8 pm Eastern, 5 pm Pacific, and […]
