There's a lot to celebrate this weekend: from stunning debuts, to the return of old favorites, to the collaborations you didn't know you needed. It's all here. Headliners this weekend include Softcult, Tincture (debut from original members of Angel Aura), Skeever, Roving, Quiet Houses, Rat Palace, Our Girl (pictured above), No Vacation, LAAVU, Kai Tak, and Broken Head. But lest you believe that's all we have to offer, let us […]
Mercury is in Gatorade, so of course we're beset by technical errors, both broadcast and website. Because, shoegaze is torture. At least it is for us, this week, as we try to professionally present it. Okay, professionally may be too strong a word... long story short, rebuilt key components of the website to restore speed, and ended up destroying our existing website URLs/hierarchy. So we're recovering from that, and plenty […]
So much to share for New Tracks Weekend. We've got hands on the new single from Belgium's Slow Crush (pictured above), which got us all bendy at the knees. For those wondering if there would ever be a follow-up to last May's Ease EP? The forthcoming Aurora LP is set to prove dominant in this category, if the title track is any indication. Preordering now, releases 28 August on Holy […]

Whether it be Say Sue Me (pictured), with their brilliant and engaging new album Where We Were Together, to the long-awaited new album from A Place to Bury Strangers, constructing mammoth walls of sound on Pinned, it's a fully epic release week. It would be easy if that were the end of the story. The […]
New and pre-release music from everywhere, plus a few recent releases we haven't caught up to yet. We're celebrating the return of Beach Vacation, last seen when we'd spun them in 2013, and have since seen on milk cartons around Washington state. Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration. We catch up with Our Girl, formerly Soph Nathan (pictured above). Their "new" single is a rework of one of their early Soph […]
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, […]
