New Tracks Weekend, May 6-8, 2022

Bandcamp Friday usually means double the usual haul, as so many artists have something special to trot out for the occasion, and this weekend is no different. We're celebrating the newest releases from Hater, Trauma Ray, Droopies, Holy Forrest, and Hazel English (pictured above)... and that's just the tip of the sonic iceberg. We're also thrilled to present some fresh but perhaps underheard cuts from Uniforms, Kraus, supergloom, Tombstones In […]

New Tracks Weekend, March 11-13, 2022

So much sonics to share this weekend, from the brand-spanking-new to the just-new-to-you, it's a lot of gold soundz. Among headliners, Brooklyn band Sooner (pictured above) is set to unleash their debut LP Days and Nights on Good Eye Records in two weeks, but they've been teasing out some tasty singles from the effort (almost weekly now) as the buzz builds. We may not be the most prominent media outlet […]

New Tracks Weekend, October 22-24, 2021

Right down to the wire, with a trifecta of exceptional albums that lead the pack this weekend. KRAUS lights it up as only KRAUS can: sandpaper textures and hooks that pull you in. Slow Crush new album takes in some slowcore influence, and makes you participate in the unfolding colours and textures. And Jo's Moving Day (pictured above AND below) is a dark horse candidate for album of the year, […]

New Tracks Weekend, August 13-15

Yes we're late: bombarded with new and recently-released music, all of which much be sorted, tweaked and prioritized. It's a lot. But that's what we're here for. New albums from Tennis System and Wednesday are obvious headliners, as we've been spinning up early singles in hot rotation since they were teased out. But we've got more headliners than that, and we're thrilled to push them at your ears. New music […]

New Tracks Weekend, July 9-11

A deep and varied bench steps up for your attention this weekend, from dreamy to hazy to fuzzy, and we're here to celebrate all of it. First among headliners, Sunstinger from Fife, Scotland (pictured above). It's a series of perfectly formed jewels (well, outside of one radio edit, but, hey... we're radio) that demands attention and appreciation. We'll pay respect. We're deep into the new releases from 93millionmilesfromthesun, gloomchurch, Wolf […]

Kraus – “Glass Valley”

Will Kraus has been fêted by so many, including us, for setting up base camp and thriving on the overclocked edge of the sound since End Tomorrow in 2016. The epic and unforgettable Path LP in 2018 was a high watermark in tuneful noise and propulsion, the lead single "Bum" with its air raid sirens and bombast never quite concealing a twisted internalized warmth. It's a duality that serves the […]

New Tracks Weekend, March 9-11

It's not that we're overbooked with new music (we usually are), it's that we're overbooked with headliners. Air Formation has returned with their first new album in eight years, and that deserves the headline. How could it not? With the exceptional history they have, surely they've earned headliner status. The new LP from KLASS II sees full release today on Luxury Records, and it's got all the elements that make […]
