If you've got a craving for new, cutting edge sounds, you're our kind of people. And we've done the work to ensure you're entertained all weekend, any hour of day or night. We're especially keen to share the newest sounds from Hatchie, Crystal Canyon, Fever Cult, THALA, Basement Revolver (like sugar for the soul), Soul Blind, The Acharis (pictured above, a torrid sonic introduction), Still Corners, Slow Crush, The Real […]
Yes we're late: bombarded with new and recently-released music, all of which much be sorted, tweaked and prioritized. It's a lot. But that's what we're here for. New albums from Tennis System and Wednesday are obvious headliners, as we've been spinning up early singles in hot rotation since they were teased out. But we've got more headliners than that, and we're thrilled to push them at your ears. New music […]
Even partway through a busy release week, and we recognized there would be a pile of quality sounds to sort through, more than in the last several weeks combined. That's the kind of challenge we tend to rise to. This weekend's sonic headliners include Tape Waves, who stealth-released a new album today, on both domestic and international labels you'll know well if you're a regular listener. The new singles from […]
Well dang! There's enough sonic gold to recommend this weekend, we'll do what can to cram it all in. From NewDad (pictured above), doing it like they've been at it for a decade, mastering the tones, the curves, the textures, to the freshest sounds from XO, beabadoobee, Beachy Head, Tennis System, The Joy Formidable, Winter... we're all packed in. We're also spooling in fresh and surprising sounds from New Canyons, […]
As a huge fan of its back catalogue, I was thrilled to receive the latest single from LA’s Tennis System today. San Francisco based label Quiet Panic has picked the band up and is unveiling the new single and music video 'Truth Hurts', the first track off the forthcoming release Autophobia, scheduled for release in late-summer 2021. Written and recorded entirely during the pandemic, Autophobia is the band’s first new […]
There is so much to recommend in this, the second hour of our DreamGaze Worldwide III presentation. A world premiere song and video from New Age Healers, featuring guest appearances from Katie Haley (Soft Science), Jim Biggs (Black Nite Crash), and My Young (Jupe Jupe), with proceeds to benefit Seattle's Creative Justice nonprofit. And it's a dreamy gem. But wait, there's more! Get a new work in progress from Star […]
It's a rare and wonderful occasion when you get to shout about a band you've been repping since their first release in 2012. The same year DKFM was born, so also was the heavygaze sound of Bedroom Eyes, with their debut LP, What Are You Wrong With. A torrid and chaotic tour through discordant riffs and emotionally charged vocals, several key tracks flow through our regular rotation seven years later. […]
Our voters stand up for their favorites, and shout them out. Perhaps not quite literally, but users of the DKFM app vote for their favorite tracks consistently, helping us shape our playlists and rotation weightings. And, often as we are able, we reflect the love back on our listeners, compiling the most-loved tunes of the time. These shoegaze and dream pop charts, closed on September 15, give a credible idea […]
When TWO of the most anticipated albums in genre this year are released on the same day, which is your headliner? Trick question, that, as both are. Blushing's new self-titled LP is unleashed today around the world, via multiple distribution partners, and it's well worth the wait. And Tennis System's new album, Lovesick, is unfurled in all its glory today on Graveface. If it seems like it's been too damn […]
