Soundcheck Feb. 15

Posted on February 15, 2019 by

Hope you all had a great Valentine’s Day yesterday. Today’s track list has some sweet celebrations of love in Glades’ “Drive” from their album To Love You, and Oh Wonder’s “Landslide,” as well as some equally lovely lamentations in London Grammar’s “Interlude” and Verite’s “Need Nothing.”

In new music news: St. Lucia has released Remixed, a compilation album of some of their best tracks remixed by different artists and producers. Joywave’s mix of “Dancing on Glass” is a fun listen, with a unique twist on an already great song.

Big Wild’s much anticipated debut album Superdream is out now. As someone who’s been following his work since his “Aftergold” days, this album really does deliver. “Pale Blue Dot,” “Heaven” and “Awaken” are all standout tracks.

As always, thanks for tuning in to Soundcheck. Until next week,

Ann

Soundcheck Feb. 8

Posted on February 8, 2019 by

Welcome back to another semester of Soundcheck! Here‘s the track list of songs from the show.

Singer-songwriter Ella Vos’s EP Watch & Wait is out now. Single “Cast Away” opened today’s show. “Temporary” and “Empty Hands” are also standouts. Her debut album in 2017 was Words I Never Said, and is worth a listen as she develops a newer, more sophisticated sound on this EP. Hopefully another studio album is in the works.

A few throwbacks today to some indie albums from the last few years which have flown under the radar: London Grammar’s Truth is a Beautiful Thing featuring the gorgeous “Hell to the Liars,” Laura Welsh’s Soft Control with “Call to Arms,” and Verite’s much loved Somewhere in Between with “When You’re Gone.”

As always, thanks for tuning in. Until next time,

Ann

today’s theme: 2007-2019

this week I’m playing songs that I’ve been listening to since I was a little kid- partly because I’m stressed and when that happens the ratio of this kind of music I listen to goes up.

Some pretty weird songs in the mix, including:

loony tunas (Y.M.C.A) – yellow kitchen

come back home – seo taeji and the boys

speed up losers – crying nut

annular eclipse – crying nut

your crush on me – super high tension

oh! what a shiny night – crying nut

회상 – 산울림 (reminisce – san ul lim)

what’s the point of climbing a mountain? – kiha & the faces

americano – 10 cm

mine – kiha & faces

graduation – hyukoh

CAT – sunwoo jung

wi ing wi ing – hyukoh

honey tea – oohyo

 

listen to crying nut- not only is their name amazing, their songs are absolute bangers.
