Sixty-five new tracks, all batched and rotation weighted, bubbling up and ready to burst forth into your ears. Seemed we had a "normal" weekend planned, and then a raft of new releases this morning, plus preorders fully unleashed today, equals a big weekend with no time to spare. Headliners this weekend include Closedown, Mental Map, Distressor, Drop Nineteens (pictured above), Airline, Bored at My Grandma's House, Ellis, Magazine Beach, New […]
Wow... grabbed hold of some fresh and breaking tracks (and a couple underheard classics) to introduce to you this weekend, and we couldn't be more chuffed about it. Headliners this weekend include Ride, Sloe Noon, Whitelands (pictured above), Torrey, swim school, World Smasher, softlightsymphony, 11:11, lil dirtbag and more! Plus there's a second line close behind, with surprising and engaging new sounds: CASTLEBEAT, Glaring Orchid, flyingfish, Adele Dazeem, Cave Moss, […]
It has been quite the rollercoaster of activity for shoegaze pioneers Ride over the past few years. Since deciding to reunite they have released two successful studio albums, two remix albums, and toured extensively. The band wrapped up activity just as we entered the current COVID-19 crisis and the band members are taking a well-deserved break. In the case of frontman Mark Gardener, this has allowed him more time for […]
As a programmer, one can get nervous. It's hours until Friday, and while you've got some quality new musics, you're holding out for magic. But then the clock strikes Friday, and everything you hoped for is released at once. From Ride's anticipated new LP, This Is Not A Safe Place, to the long awaited follow up album from Field Mouse (pictured above), Meaning, which is pretty much everything you'd hope […]
A music nerd is just a nerd with earbuds. Having been fans and boosters of Toronto's Iris since their first single "Fix Me" landed hard in our consciousness, we've been Iris nerds. Sure, there's been a bump or two along the road for the Iris squad, but they were always about the songs. And you could count on them to create and polish compelling new tunes, and press them into your […]
Did nobody take the Winter holidays off? So many new releases! Well, so much the better for us (and for you, the listener). New music from Brazil, from upstart shoegazers Terraplana (pictured above), whose exílio EP is rich and full of youthful charm. Of course we've got the new single from Linda Guilala, which we had the honor of premiering two days ago. Of course today sees the release of the […]
If you've spent the last six months sleeping under a rock, there's a new album from Ride out today. In fact, their first new LP in 21 years. If you don't think that's a thing, you may be tuned into the wrong radio station, my friends. Much like when Slowdive released a new album this year, a number of other new releases got overlooked (well, everywhere but here). But, you […]
Still recovering from last weekend's epic Seagaze festival, but we've spent most of the week combing through all the impressive new submissions for New Tracks Weekend, and we're packed. Obviously we're pushing the new single from Ride, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. We're deep into the new albums from Omega Vague, Todavía, Малыш Камю (Malish Kamu), Subsonic Eye and Afor Gashum, plus the new singles from the Cult of […]
Just when we thought it would be a quiet(er) weekend, fewer new materials released... boom. Much new load-in, much new sparkle. We're (unsurprisingly) heavily featuring Who Cares About Tomorrow, the new full album from Fawns of Love. We had the distinct pleasure of mastering the final product, and it shines like we knew it would. The new single from Ride beats back most new releases. Two new singles from Brisbane's […]
