Chaos. It's not just that it's Friday the 13th, it's ...volume. The sheer volume of new tracks for consideration beats even most Bandcamp Fridays, and that's really saying something. We've got three credible albums yet to mine for gems, and haven't included them, because we simply didn't have time. That's how this weekend is gonna be, so be it. Headliners, we've got plenty, including several crucial pre-release sneak peeks worthy […]
We've cast a wide net this weekend, catching gems from our genre, and adjacent genres, to ensure maximum audio enjoyment. We're long the new LPs from supernowhere, WOZNIAK, Another Heaven, and The Starlit Hues. We're supplementing with quality tracks from Nothing, Letting Up Despite Great Faults, Fotoform, Lumari, vievv, The Suncharms, Stomp Talk Modstone, The Black Fever, Puna, The High Violets, Soul Blind, Luxury Furniture Store, Postcards, Moon Cowboy, Action […]
A companion piece to "The Velvet Hum Goes to Scotland" Originally aired Thursday, Nov. 26, 9 p.m. Central/3 p.m. GMT on DKFM Two weeks ago, I ventured out of the pages of the blog and on to the airwaves to co-host The Velvet Hum with my good friend Deborah Sexton! We went on a virtual audio road trip around the UK and checked out all the best shoegaze and dreampop […]
We're overpacked with awesome. It's an epic weekend for new music, and we're here for it. We're featuring a sneak peek of the forthcoming (and long-awaited) LP from Highlands, out next week on Exte Records. We'll play several key tracks from this grand return, including one exclusive to our air, and we're pretty jazzed about it. We're also keen on the debut LP from Philly's Timelost (pictured above), a torrid […]
From Bethany Curve (pictured above) to Fawns of Love, it's a heavy day, a hefty week for new music. We've got the freshest tunes from Wild Nothing, The Churchill Garden (featuring our own DJ Krissy), the freshest and dreamiest from Heavy Heart, Misty Coast, Sleep Still, Cathedral Bells and Debrider. Plus we're pushing amazing sounds from Art Dave, Moth Pylon, Arbes, Dayflower, Cosmetic, The Day, Makthaverskan, Be Forest, Dreams of […]
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 […]
Weekend! We've waited all week for this. Like your corner dealer, we're pushing the NEW stuff. Like the new singles from The Foreign Resort (shortly headed for Canadian tour), Wozniak (whose forthcoming LP is something we've been looking forward to for months), and Venn (who continue to impress with each new release). But that's not all... we're impressed by the tasty, grungy treats from Abusive Language, a new band from […]
Amidst the chaos of new releases, equipment shenanigans and weekend hijinks, we've managed to splice together a pretty epic New Tracks Weekend for you. Headliners (of course) are Half and Wozniak, whose new split single we previewed here, and is available as of this morning here. The new single, fresh this week, from station favorites Makaras Pen (including a new video!). Full-album deep diving with Eros and the Eschaton, Medicine […]
In a surprise announcement, two of the UK's preeminent sonic sculptors are releasing a split single, with all proceeds to benefit DKFM station operations. Half, via Gateshead, burst on the scene with their first single "Mind Laps", and immediately caught attention around the globe. Awash in reverb, strummed rhythm and a slowly unfolding progression, "Mind Laps" broke enough genre molds to earn a permanent rotation space in the first month […]
