Bandcamp Friday, over 500 pitches and Bandcamp emails, culled to a total of just over 90 tracks for rotation injection. It's a wheelbarrowful of fresh tunes, and there's a lot to recommend here. Headliners this weekend include Kid Tigrrr, Flu Flu, Dummy, Hatchie, Cashier, Pink Mexico, Indoor Voices, LEAVS (pictured above), Tears Run Rings, More Earth Than Sea, Gift, Chokecherry, Fur Aliah, and Prettier Now. But there's so much more! […]
So much new to the airplay roster this weekend, it took a little extra time to compile it all. This weekend, we're celebrating a lot of new releases, all of which deserve headliner treatment. First among equals: Tears Run Rings, returning with an impending new LP (and a star turn at DKFM's DreamGaze PDX this September), plus ADORER, Cigarettes for Breakfast, Deep Red, 11:11, Asimov, Snowcuffs, Colatura, Haermape, Gloam, Local Authority, […]
The third hour of this month's DreamGaze Worldwide virtual festival has something for every taste. Magic moments are brought to bear from Newmoon, The Veldt, Tears Run Rings, Eternal Something, Daniel Land, Resplandor, and Soon She Said. It's almost all the entertainment you'll ever need. Except for hours one and two, and four through eight. But, sincerely, dare you not to be charmed by this hour's sonic sparkle. DreamGaze Worldwide […]
There aren't enough column inches to describe what we've put together for this weekend's DreamGaze Worldwide presentation. Superlatives like "new", "rare", "never-before-seen" fail to do justice to just what's been put together for our live virtual festival this weekend. We'll just enumerate a few highlights for you. New Age Healers (pictured above): The Seattle post-psychedelic shoegaze quartet unleash a world premiere with a little help from Katie Haley (Soft Science), […]
When you are so deluged with quality new music, you can spend literally all day, and still not feel you've done it justice. At some point, you've got to pull the pin and call it stellar. Of course it's release day for The Daysleepers and Creation, their first new album in a decade. Was it worth the extended wait? We're not the only ones raving, but we'll let you be […]
We're packed in, ready for the weekend. Crept up to deadline worried that there wasn't enough material. Once commenced to digging through the week's fresh material, of course we're overbooked. Me of little faith. New music from Wild Nothing (released today), Subsonic Eye (pictured above), and the long-awaited XO release (previewed here). And that's just the tip of the iceberg. New music from Ultra Material, True Primitives, Nameless Dreampop, Fake […]
We soldier on. The weekend plan folds in new music from Creepoid, specialty remixes from Tears Run Rings, a special sneak preview of tracks from The Marbles Jackson (band announcement coming soon!), choice cuts from Mood Dye, Rachel Sermanni, Sorry Escalator, June Parker, Sonic Visions, nyre, Soviet Soviet, Is Bliss, The Tunnels, Glass Horses, Velvet Dreams, plus some star-studded contributions from TBTCI Records' tribute to Nirvana, including Whimsical, Car Crash […]
New music in abundance, this weekend is well overbooked! The crowning achievement is the release of the new Tears Run Rings LP, In Surges, which has got us in studio all twitterpated. Their deft touch, their consistent tunefulness remind us why theirs is one of the preeminent voices in the genre, and their occasional absences are really a loss for all of us. We're also deep the new album from […]
