Just when we thought it might be a slow weekend... suddenly we're loaded down, ready to roll! Headliners this weekend include Velvet, Distressor, Keep, Postcards (pictured above), HIGHSPIRE (a much welcome return), Ain't, Kallsup, future fiires, Modern Daze, Sea Lemon, and the sparkling debut from Honey I'm Home. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. We're also celebrating new music from Wynona, Left at Orion (last year, but we're […]
Managing huge projects and deadlines WHILE compiling a full New Tracks Weekend program (on Bandcamp Friday, no less!). Over budget, but on time. We can do this while dancing backwards, wearing high heels. So let's freaking gooooo. Headliners include the return of Beirut's Postcards (with another stunner), Graywave (pictured above, with probably this project's strongest and most enduring single to date), Beach Fossils, and Letting Up Despite Great Faults. But […]
We've cast a wide net this weekend, catching gems from our genre, and adjacent genres, to ensure maximum audio enjoyment. We're long the new LPs from supernowhere, WOZNIAK, Another Heaven, and The Starlit Hues. We're supplementing with quality tracks from Nothing, Letting Up Despite Great Faults, Fotoform, Lumari, vievv, The Suncharms, Stomp Talk Modstone, The Black Fever, Puna, The High Violets, Soul Blind, Luxury Furniture Store, Postcards, Moon Cowboy, Action […]
When the problem of dual headliners pops up, you have to go with seniority. Two top-quality releases, the edge goes to the veterans. We're prepared for deep dives into the new albums from Amusement Parks on Fire (pictured above), their first full LP in decades, and Lightning Bug: a rich, languid tapestry that bends between dreamy, hazy and folky. Two top-tier albums, both worthy of celebration and exploration. We'll spend […]
Martial drums open the new single from Beirut, Lebanon's Postcards, and you're forced to pay attention. This is an urgency, a constrained frenzy we're not used to from Postcards, who specialize in richly textured dream pop. And it's a bit of a walk from their dizzying-but-intimate DreamGaze Worldwide performance to this claustrophobic opening. And it's here where context matters most. Since we last checked in with Postcards, a big chunk […]
We're more dense-packed than last weekend, as quality new releases (and one classic reissue) came through so furiously it was hard to keep up. First among equals: Her New Knife. An EP of only four songs, but there's not a false step here. While some (even this weekend) release an album or EP with "interludes", Her New Knife cuts right to the heart of the matter, all killer, no filler. […]
Packed hour-for-hour with world class performances, this month's edition of DreamGaze Worldwide provided both refreshment and education for a joy-hungry world. This hour's installment includes exclusive performances from Postcards, Citrus Clouds, Todavia, and Meadowlake. There's not a miss in the bunch, and we guarantee you'll be charmed throughout, or your money back (it was free though). DreamGaze Worldwide III, Chapter Six Chapter six of this epic festival includes fresh performances […]
One of the standout releases of 2020 has been the second album (and third official release) from Postcards, The Good Soldier. A sublime journey through dream pop and sparkle, this LP's release on January 3rd generated buzz and airplay from worldwide outlets, including Seattle's KEXP, and has been an enduring favorite on our airwaves, with five key tracks graduating to long-term rotation within weeks. While this talented trio from Beirut, […]
It's a solid gold weekend, packed with sonic treasures. From a world premiere from sonic standouts Flowerbed (released worldwide tomorrow), to headliners like Ellis and Ousel (pictured above), we're heavy-weighted toward awesome. We're deep into new music from Fawning, Iress, Midpoint Union, Mayflower Madame, Grave Saddles, Ill Spector, Palm Ghosts, POPULARDAYS, Mint Julep, Postcards, Snarls, Videograms, spellbreaker, White Flowers, увула, and we'll throw in some classics from Temple of Angels […]
