Soundcheck Mar. 22

Posted on March 22, 2019 by Ann Yao Zhang

Welcome back from spring break! Hope it was a fun and restful one for all. Here‘s the track list for this week’s show.

The Cinematic Orchestra is out with To Believe. Even if you don’t immediately recognize these guys, you have likely heard one of their tracks scoring a film or television show. Title track, “To Believe,” featuring Moses Sumney played on today’s show. “The Workers of Art” and “A Promise” with Heidi Vogel are also beautiful. No doubt you’ll be hearing them in soundtracks and trailers soon.

Singer-songwriter Benjamin Francis Leftwich’s third studio album is Gratitude. “Box of Stones” and “Atlas Hands” from his debut Last Smoke Before the Snowstorm are favorites, and this new album manages to retain that signature indie folk sound, while integrating the alternative with the acoustic. “Sometimes” featured on today’s show. “Miracle Sister” and “The Mess We Make,” as well as the title track are other standouts.

As always, thanks for tuning into Soundcheck. Until next week,

Ann

Soundcheck Mar. 8 – Have a good spring break!

Posted on March 8, 2019 by Ann Yao Zhang

Thanks for tuning into this week’s show. Apologies for the lack of track list/write-up last week. Catch up on last week’s songs here, and today’s track list here.

Broods is out with their third studio album Don’t Feed the Pop Monster. Their first single off of the album, “Peach,” has had airtime on previous shows. Today featured the synth-pop confection “Falling Apart,” which is another gorgeous track. Other standouts include “To Belong” and “Life After.” If you enjoyed their EP, or their albums Evergreen and Conscious, then this new one is definitely worth a full listen.

Swedish singer-songwriter Léon’s self-titled debut album was released at the top of the month. I’ve been following her work since her single “Tired of Talking” from her first EP, Treasure, gained traction back in 2015. This album has been in the works for a while, so it’s great to see it come to fruition. “Better in the Dark” closed today’s show. “Lost Time” and “Hope is a Heartache” are also excellent.

Soundcheck will be off next week for spring break. Wishing everyone has a good one, and safe travels to everyone leaving campus.

Ann
