Video Premiere: Teen Idle – “In the Morning”

We were first introduced to Teen Idle in May of 2020. The song "In the Morning", and the project of  22-year-old woman of color Sara Abdelbarry had all the elements that made us take notice: strong chorus, propulsive groove, classic 90's guitar stylings. The tune itself closes strong: layering guitar atop guitar, supporting and amplifying Abdelbarry's chorus to the finish. It's been a rotation staple ever since. As the early […]

Bizarre – "Never Ever"

From Pia Fraus to Imandra Lake, from Picnic to She Bit Her Lip, Estonia's Seksound label has spent years with a carefully-curated roster of new releases and classic reissues in the shoegaze and dream pop vein. In the mid-nineties, the standard bearers of Slowdive sonic sweep in Estonia were inarguably Bizarre. Seksound reissued Bizarre's debut Beautica (1994), and the follow-up Café de Flor (1996) to a whole new generation of […]

Review: Lowtide – Southern Mind

Melbourne's Lowtide are no strangers to DKFM listeners. And this lot have earned all the love they are due. To say that their new LP, Southern Mind, has been one of the most anticipated releases of the year is no understatement. While Neil Halstead was busy mining the sonic foundations of Beach House for the reunion album from Slowdive, Gabriel Lewis was actively deconstructing Slowdive’s Just For A Day LP. And […]

2017 Album of the Year Poll Results

We pushed them, you picked them. Our week-long poll of the top shoegaze and dream pop albums of 2017 has now effectively closed, and there was much disagreement as to what should take the top spot. Except for one. The grand return of Slowdive, with their self-titled album, bested all comers by a nearly three-to-one margin. And why should it not? Nobody could have predicted even three years ago that […]

The Interview: Blankenberge

We first took notice of Saint Petersburg, Russia's Blankenberge in March of 2016, as some of the smartest folks we knew were praising their debut self-titled EP. For a debut to feature such an epic, cavernous sound right from the start, well, that's some confidence right there. While still formative, the seeds were planted for something pretty big. Since then, Blankenberge got to work. Polishing, amplifying their singular sonic vision, […]

New Tracks Weekend, May 5-7

Pity the fools wot must compete with Slowdive this weekend. I mean, right? Label owners and bands marking calendar 6 to 11 months in advance, plotting official release date. Then the Slowdive tsunami hits, and all boats are swept to shore. We empathize. However, it's our official job to celebrate all the quality new releases, this and every day. So we'll celebrate Slowdive's new self-titled album, their first new music in 22 […]
