Looks like the new year is fully underway, and we've got a raft, nay, an aircraft carrier full of new tunes freshly or recently released, and we're gonna celebrate them. Headliners this week include Cosmopaark (reviewed here), YEAHRS, and Sydney's Trillion (pictured above). Each of these has unleashed a new album, and each approach the sonic summit differently, but no less capably. Each deserves consideration on your shopping list, we'll […]
Seventy-plus tracks batched and sorted, rotation weighted, ready for rollout this weekend. Headliners include Velveteen (pictured above), from whom we've waited for a full debut album since... 2016? That can't be right, can it? No matter, it's here and it's crucial. We're also celebrating fresh sounds from Laveda, Babaganouj, audiobaton, Collider, Helens, Life on Venus, shedfromthebody, Tanukichan, Subsonic Eye, Waterville, TTSSFU, Sloe Noon and more. And that's just the start! […]
Bringing the freshness, as is the job description, and a Bandcamp Friday is no exception. Might slow us up just a little, but the job is to bring the brightest and best, and we're about it. This weekend's headliners include The Stargazer Lilies (new single!), the long-awaited return of AEROFALL (pictured above, photo credit to Nika Nechiporenko), a world radio premiere single from Elephants and Dogs (album drops 9 September […]
Bandcamp Friday Bonanza, and we've been working at it since late late late last night, just to pull in all the most important releases, to bring them to your ears. From the latest albums by Wynona Bleach and Letting Up Despite Great Faults (pictured above), to the fresh and surprising sounds from Mo Dotti, Lightfoils, Spotlight Kid, Laveda, Cloudwalk, Sound Discard, re-lapse, STEREOSKOP and more, we're brimming with fresh colors […]
While we recognize this album review celebrates a release from over a month ago, we publish anyway, as it fits squarely into consideration for Best Albums of 2020, thus deserving deeper examination. - Ed. Nominees for my album of the year just keep piling up. Adding to the list this week are New York-based duo Laveda with their sparkling debut album, What Happens After. I discovered this band on the […]
There is so much to recommend in this, the second hour of our DreamGaze Worldwide III presentation. A world premiere song and video from New Age Healers, featuring guest appearances from Katie Haley (Soft Science), Jim Biggs (Black Nite Crash), and My Young (Jupe Jupe), with proceeds to benefit Seattle's Creative Justice nonprofit. And it's a dreamy gem. But wait, there's more! Get a new work in progress from Star […]
Bloody 'ell though. First the website hosting company suffers a fatal error, taking hours to recover. Then we get multiple messages from Europe, suggesting our broadcast had collapsed (it hadn't, the E.U. is experiencing an internet usage surge that's straining capacity). Then Bandcamp offers up a full day where they give all purchase money raised direct to platform artists, without taking their usual administrative cut... and they've been able to […]
If we're late, it's because we're overbooked. Blissfully overbooked, with new music released right up to air time. Our headliners include Fever Blush (pictured above), who've just released their new album EARLY to those willing to preorder, with proceeds going to Nashville rebuilding and recovery. That's an effort we can get behind. We've got a world premiere from Moscow's COSme that we're thrilled to share. Away Forward has unfurled the […]
Up-to-the-minute freshness. Because sometimes the best releases drop just before airtime. Our new album headliners include Iris (pictured above), Medicine, and Tombstones In Their Eyes (out today on SomewhereCold). Singles headliners include the return of Lorelei (the new one, not the classic one), whose last single was a tantalizing glimpse of what this talented duo was capable of; the new single cashes in on early promise, guaranteed to send chills.
