The Decemberists [Performance & Interview Only]
30 juli 2024 · 30 min
On the show this time, it's the yarn-spinning indie-rock of Portland, Oregon’s The Decemberists. Lees meer
It’s been 6 years since The Decemberists released new music. The Portland-based mini orchestra has been making their infectious folk pop since their formation in 2000. Any myth, epic poem, or historical account is fair game as fodder for their songs. Over the years they’ve built a deeply invested group of fans, written some of the longest of catchy tunes, and have made some of the best sounding records of the past nearly quarter century.
Their latest album, their 9th is called 'As It Ever Was, So Will it Be Again' and is available through their own imprint Youth And Beauty Brigade or .. Yabb Records.

23 juli 2024 · 27 min
On the show this time, it’s the contemporary jazz and black classical music of Yussef Dayes. Lees meer
Drummer and composer Yussef Dayes makes music that embraces tradition, but then puts on a brand new shirt and walks out into the city, ready for anything. He’s a band leader - having put together a group of monster players to bring this music into existence. The Lewisham native has been in the midst of the current London community ever since he and his brothers were in a band together. “United Vibrations” was jamming at the house on weekends, busking in the streets, and later putting on shows - including the infamous nights called “12 Tone.” His debut solo album “Black Classical Music” is available through Brownswood Recordings and Nonesuch Records.

Heartworms [Performance & Interview Only]
16 juli 2024 · 25 min
On the show this time, it’s the immaculately tailored imagery of Heartworms. Lees meer
Heartworms is the band project of London singer-songwriter Jojo Orme. She named it after one of her favorite bands - the Shins - 2017 album of the same name. The sound is threatening, dark, gothic even. Her lyrics walk a tightrope, beautifully balanced betwixt concrete imagery and abstract entendre. And she’s got a voice worthy of the poetry, dynamically moving from breathy whisper, to truly alarming shout. Her EP 'A Comforting Notion' is available on Speedy Wunderground Records.

On the show this time, it’s the Colombian psychedelic funk of BALTHVS. Lees meer
BALTHVS is a psych-funk power-trio from Colombia. They can play surfy classics and straight ahead Cumbia, but they excel at trippy groovy psych-rock that references the sounds of the middle east, especially Turkish music. Oh - and you can definitely dance to it.

Angie McMahon
2 juli 2024 · 27 min
On the show this time, it’s the hope and light of Australian singer and writer Angie McMahon. Lees meer
Angie McMahon’s new record is an ode to the simplest mantra - “One day at a time.” After the success of her first album she found herself struggling with anxiety and depression. She was diagnosed with ADHD. She moved out of her family home. She embraced being queer. She got really ill. She experienced panic attacks. She had to find a way through. Music and songwriting was one of the things that helped. The new album is filled with cautious hope, self forgiveness, and even joy - celebrating the small and great victories that are simply, somehow, doing what it takes to get on with living. It’s called 'Light, Dark, Light Again.' and is available on her own imprint through AWAL.

Ana Tijoux is a hip-hop artist, rapper, singer and songwriter.

SISTEMAS INESTABLES [Performance & Interview Only]
18 juni 2024 · 35 min
On the show this time, electronics fight guitars in the post-prog noise-rock of SISTEMAS INESTABLES. Lees meer
SISTEMAS INESTABLES is an instrumental trio from Santiago de Chile. They are finishing a trilogy of EP’s which will comprise their full-length-release at the end of 2024. The first EP, 'oppidum,' which means “town” is about cities - powerful and aggressive. The second, 'homines,' meaning “people” is about humans - perhaps it is more emotional. The as yet unreleased third EP is about nature and will be more organic. Their music is available on Bandcamp, and through the label LeRock Psicophonique. For this performance the band played two songs from their 2018 release, 'O,' and one from the EP 'homines.'

Elephant Gym [Performance & Interview Only]
11 juni 2024 · 21 min
On the show this time, it's the low-end chaotic pattern-math of Taiwan’s Elephant Gym. Lees meer
Elephant Gym is siblings KT and Tell Chang on bass and guitar, and drummer Chia-Chin Tu. They met in high school, forming the band in 2012. They say the “elephant” refers to their emphasized agile bass guitar, and the “gym” refers to the physical and mental workout that is Math-Rock. Their music is a delicate balance of jazz, funk, and classical elements, unafraid to venture into catchy pop, or the shreddingest of shredding math-rock riffs. Sometimes the members of the band are counting in different time signatures. Simultaneously… YES. It’s surprisingly accessible given its complexity, due to an openness to the arrangements and their gorgeous tonal palette. Their latest albums are 'Dreams' and 'World,' both available through Topshelf Records.

Raphael Saadiq [Performance Only]
4 juni 2024 · 30 min
On the show this time, it's a very special throwback episode, featuring a live performance from Oakland’s own, R&B singer - Raphael Saadiq. Lees meer
Raphael Saadiq is a multi-instrumentalist, particularly deadly on bass - his first big gig was playing bass for Sheila E, who was opening for … Prince. He formed the multi-platinum group Tony Toni Toné with his brother and cousin. None of them are named Tony. He’s produced massive records for people like D’Angelo, TLC, and the Roots. And, he’s put out 5 solo records. Most of this show is from his 2008 release 'The Way I See It.'
For this performance, the KEXP video team captured Raphael and his stellar live band at the Bumbershoot music festival in Seattle.

Caroline Rose [Performance & Interview Only]
14 mei 2024 · 28 min
On the show this time, it's the cinematic indie-pop of songwriter Caroline Rose. Lees meer
Caroline Rose is an uncompromising, ever morphing, creative force. They’ve been putting out music since 2012. Originally it was a folky Americana sound, with acoustic guitar, pedal steel and mandolins - though Caroline’s lyrics were already potent with insight, entanglements, despair or dgaf ennui. Artistic evolution has been de rigeur since, and their latest is polished pop-music, as likely to feature the jitter of electronica as it is to sweep in with Hollywood strings.
Consistently though, the album covers have been…Rose colored. The blood-red kind of roses. The new album cover features a rose-red blindfold. It’s called 'The Art of Forgetting' and is available on New West Records.

Rodriguez [Performance Only]
7 mei 2024 · 23 min
On the show this time, it's a very special throwback episode, featuring a live performance from the Detroit legend - Rodriguez. Lees meer
Detroit, Motor City. It churned out all those classic cars, but it is also one of the great American music cities. Motown obviously, which is enough all on its own. Punk from Suzi Quattro, The Suicide Machines, The Romantics, and the MC5. Pop and R&B and Hip Hop from Was Not Was, J Dilla, and Anita Baker. Sufjan Stevens, Bob Seger, or Eminem. And - from the quiet streets of Woodbridge came the psych-rocking songwriter Sixto Rodriguez. He released 2 studio albums with little success in the US, but he did well in Australia and New Zealand, and South Africa. In fact, he was a huge hit in South Africa. He didn’t know it at the time. He lived a simple life, working hard for very little money. It wasn’t until his daughter discovered a website about him in the late 90s that he realized how many fans he had in other parts of the world. His records were re-issued by Light in the Attic in 2009 and he toured - including to Seattle. He played many packed concerts to adoring fans - finally getting a taste of the success he deserved. He died in 2023 at the age of 81.

His records were re-issued by Light in the Attic in 2009 and he toured - including to Seattle. He played many packed concerts to adoring fans - finally getting a taste of the success he deserved. He died in 2023 at the age of 81.

The Kills [Performance & Interview Only]
30 april 2024 · 27 min
On the show this time, it’s a stripped down performance from post-garage rockers The Kills. Lees meer
The Kills met back in the late 90’s when singer Alison Mosshart was staying in London during a tour with a previous band, and met her upstairs neighbor Jamie Hince. She loved his guitar playing and insisted that they be in a band together. That didn’t happen right away, but they kept in touch, and began writing together, and sharing 4 track demos of stuff, from when they were apart. Once her band broke up, Alison moved to London, and the band that would become The Kills formed in 2001, recording as VV and Hotel until they picked the band name. They play hard hitting heavy music, with one foot in bluesy garage rock, the other in epic cinematic noir-pop. It’s glitzy and dirty and always so dang cool. Their latest album is 'God Games' and it is available on Domino.

Margo Cilker [Performance & Interview Only]
2 april 2024 · 34 min
On the show this time, it’s the West Coast Americana of Margo Cilker. Lees meer
Margo Cilker is a California native, of the Santa Clara Cilkers, a town in the Southern Bay, transformed by the relentless onslaught of technology companies. Farmland and apricot orchards have fallen prey to silicon and semiconductors. She moved north in her 20s, spending time in Oregon, and then barely into the state of Washington midway between Portland and Walla Walla.
She writes about life, embracing the poetically cryptic, as she wonders aloud concerning cattle drives, loneliness, drinking, and a friend's trout. Her latest record is called 'Valley of Heart's Delight,' sharing that title with the actual place, and a couple of books. It is available on Fluff & Gravy Records.

J Mascis [Performance & Interview Only]
19 maart 2024 · 22 min
On the show this time, it’s the soothing acoustic jams of J Mascis. Lees meer
Just kidding! J Mascis has fun playing some acoustic shows, though of course he is known for playing a Fender Jazzmaster, super loud through a couple of Marshall stacks and a fuzz pedal or 2. His familiar well-worn tenor has only gained strength over the years since we first heard him with Dinosaur Jr.
In this session he grabbed a 12-string acoustic and delivered an intimate soul-comforting set. His latest solo record, recorded at home, is called 'What Do We Do Now' and it is available on Sub Pop records.

Hooveriii [Performance & Interview Only]
12 maart 2024 · 20 min
Hooveriii is the solo project, now writ large, of singer / guitarist Bert Hoover. Specifically, Robert Hoover the third. The project started out in a garage in El Segundo, CA with Bert playing all the parts - bass, guitar, Casio, and drum machine into his classic 4-track Tascam 414. You can listen to that original album on vinyl coming out for Record Store Day - that’s April 20th, 2024. Over time he has assembled a stellar group of like-minded musicians. They are all capable of hitting their mark, tight and neat. They are also capable of some superb veering off into space jams. It’s psych-rock, influenced by krautrock, and it aims to take you away from this harsh world for a while - to a better place. The latest record is called 'Pointe' and it is available through the Reverberation Appreciation Society / Levitation. Lees meer

Blonde Redhead [Performance & Interview Only]
5 maart 2024 · 34 min
On the show this time, it’s the brilliant intensity of the veteran New York City band - Blonde Redhead. Lees meer
Blonde Redhead is a legendary independent alternative-rock band. They’ve been making music, and records on their own terms since 1994. The consistent core of the band is Kazu Makino and twin brothers Simone and Amedeo Pace. Between them they cover vocals, keys, guitars and drums. They sometimes work with collaborators - most often occupying the position of bass player. Their band has truly gone through fire - surviving breakups, endless fights, a horrible trampling by horse, and even the goodbye album. This moment finds them returning - 30 years wiser since their debut - with a brilliant, complex record, as fresh and original as any fan could wish for. It's called 'Sit Down For Dinner' and it’s available on Section1 Records.
