Well geez. It's not Bandcamp Friday, so we've no proper clue as to how we've got ninety-plus new tracks on offer this weekend. Sometimes, just the luck of the calendar, I guess. It's a lot, so buckle up, here goes. Headliners this weekend include Drop Nineteens, Emma Anderson, Pink Breath of Heaven, Kestrels (welcome back!), bad light, copperplate, Miners (pictured above), Hey Calamity, Powder Pink & Sweet, Mumrunner, Nuclear Daisies, […]
It's a new weekend, between Kalamashoegazer and DreamGaze PDX, and we have new music. Much new music. So much it delayed this very rollout. And here we are. Headliners this weekend include, first among equals: Mo Dotti. The new opaque LP is the fulfillment of so much early promise, and it carries you aloft from beginning to end. More headliners? We've got chokecherry, Blue Cinema, Slowwves, Tanukichan, The Prids, Bloom […]
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 […]
What sonic treats do we have for you this weekend? More appropriately, what don't we have? Headliners all weekend include Asimov (pictured above), Dead Horse One, Flyying Colours, Blisstonia, Majestic Horses, Miners, Sore Eyelids, bokunofune, Meadowlake, Twin Limb, Inkraktare and more. Fresh singles help round out the presentation, including new sounds from Trillion, Stellarscope, Vlimmer, Whimsical, Southwest Hotel, Moon Pics, Sicayda, Fleur du Mal, Human Colonies, Honeymoan, Flyingpool, Day Disguise, […]
We have the new. So much newness. And we're loaded for the weekend. New music from Soft Blue Shimmer, New Age Healers, Field Mouse, MOLLY, and Annie Hamilton kick it off. But there's so much more to be celebrated. We're spinning up the new tracks from the Blush Response/WARM split, and it's so damn good to have both back making music. We're shining up and shooting out new music from […]
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 […]
New (and new-adjacent) sounds for your weekend, locked. We're deep the new EP from Miners, just released on Strange Pursuits. BRAND new music from Air Formation (guaranteed to buckle yer knees), SOON, Lost Secrets, Smile, The Foreign Resort, Mercury Rev, TYYNYT and This Lonely Crowd, plus Oakland's dreampunk darlings Crush, Dayflower, Bruising, Tape Deck Mountain, Seldom Family, SMILE, Plastic Flowers, Editors (okay, probably only just the one song with Rachel), […]
RFTW = ready for the weekend. We are. We're 'long' on new music from Infinity Girl, Funeral Advantage, Walking Misery, Baby Honey, Makaras Pen, Miners, Schonwald, Monotronaut, Saturno Devorando, Cherry Picker, HOLD, Tuath, Sunken Seas, Helen, and Holden Girls return with their first new music in two years. None of this is to be slept on. This is not to ignore last weekend's headliners. We're packed to the gills with […]
The third and final installment of our series on the epic Roogaze festival in Melbourne on May 9th (event link: Roogaze 2015) features our chats with Kigo, Miners and Contrast. If you're just catching up, check out our previous installments here and here. As we've described before, Roogaze is the largest shoegaze / dream pop themed event of its kind since LA's Shoegaze Fest three years ago, and featuring heavyweights […]
