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, […]
We'll celebrate this Valentines' Day weekend in style, from the sublime, to the ...also sublime (at least that's how it seems in our first hour). Headliner album releases from UJU (pictured above) and Heligoland (first album in a decade) lead the parade, as do the hottest new singles from Winter, Fauvely and XO. And that's just the topline frontline, there's so much more to celebrate! We're long on the newest […]
Our critical appraisal of the best albums of 2020 continues, as DJ Heretic breaks down the landmark that is Endless Space (Between You & I), released 24 July 2020. The appearance of effortless ease is usually the result of months, even years of painstaking work. And Samira Winter works harder than you do. With a first public release in the fall of 2012, the same year DKFM planted its flag, […]
It's a rough week to be promoting new music. Imagine waking up and finding you have three times the normal raft of quality submissions to program. This is that week. We could have any of multiple headliners this weekend, each deserving of your full and undivided listening attention. That we have this many world class artists releasing this week is just testament to how amazing a year this will be […]
No more, we're full! This weekend we're thrilled to bring you a wheelbarrowful of top-class tunes, from headliners like Manic Sheep (pictured), Old Soul Dies Young, Coming Up Roses, Winter, Total Drag, Hatchie, and 宇宙ネコ子. We'll shake 'em up, press 'em down, and fling the freshness in your general direction all weekend. But even that's only the tip of the iceberg. We've got music from Ten Million Lights, Rapt (featuring […]
It's chaos when all the hot new releases land at once. Here we are. The epic new LP from Blush Response (pictured above) arrived this week, and it's all we've been listening to. The new album from Winter dropped late last night, and we've been yelling about it wherever possible. The new Bloody Knives LP dropped literally minutes ago, generating much buzz for their national tour, underway now. And that's […]
Near to a month (give or take five days), and thousands of votes later, we're thrilled to present the Top 20 shoegaze and dream pop tracks for March, as voted by our listeners via the all-new DKFM App. As to the chart show itself, we could only cram 15 actual tunes into the hour allotted (and still slopped over), but each and every song in the top 20 got a […]
All of the new music came out this week. All of it. Running gag in the DKFM Facebook group, everybody marked March 1 on calendar, and everybody of note released on the same day. And we've had to purge a great deal from the weekend rotation to make room for the sparkling additions from this week alone. Headliners: Topographies. If there's any such thing as a "shoegaze supergroup", this is […]
If you're dealing with last-minute holiday chaos, take us with you. We'll not only keep you company, we'll entertain you with the freshest new tunes available. Kicking off with Muso Asia's top LP for 2017, For Tracy Hyde has captured hearts worldwide for their full-length he(r)art album, and it's a jewel. Not available on Bandcamp, you can find your own copy on your digital platform of choice. Other than Bandcamp. […]
