Soundcheck Oct. 25

Posted on October 25, 2018 by

Thanks for tuning into Soundcheck – here is the track list from today’s show. Some standouts include William Fitzsimmons’ “In the Light,” DYAN’s
Looking for Knives,” and Diagrams’ “Under the Graphite Sky,” which closed the show.

Jess Glynne’s sophomore album Always in Between debuted at number one in the UK, with her single “All I Am” having already spent seven consecutive weeks on the Top 100 chart. She hasn’t made quite the same headway across the pond, but her name might ring a bell from her feature on Clean Bandit’s 2014 sleeper hit “Rather Be.” “Thursday,” co-written with non-other than Ed Sheeran is a fun listen.

“Three Days at Greenmount” is Alex Clare’s first acoustic album, recorded over three days at a studio in Leeds. All twelve tracks are stripped back and live. “Too Close” and “Three Hearts,” which had such interesting production in their original forms are made new again in their unplugged versions.

I hope you have a spooky Halloween, and Soundcheck will be back next Thursday on the first of the new month!

Soundcheck Oct. 18 – Welcome Back!

Posted on October 18, 2018 by

A belated welcome back to a new semester of school and Soundcheck! We’ve been back on the air for a few weeks, but here’s to our first posting and track list of the semester. Catch up on the songs played on today’s show here.

Some select music news from the summer hiatus: Olafur Arnalds’ fourth studio solo album re:member was released in August. Some favorites of mine include “unfold,” “they sink,” and “saman,” which had airtime on this week’s show. He also did an incredible set for NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series, which you can watch here.

After much anticipation, Florence and the Machine’s High as Hope came out at the end of June. We played the singles “Hunger” and “Sky Full of Song” on the show earlier this year. Of the new tracks revealed on the album, “100 Years” and “Big God” are standouts. Give the full album a listen if you haven’t already. At a judicious ten tracks coming in at just over 40 minutes, it’s a minimalist, curated LP which tells a beautiful story from start to finish. Of course, Florence’s vocals are top notch as always.

Other new releases: The Joy Formidable with AAARTH, William Fitzsimmons with Mission Bell, and Seinabo Sey with I’m a Dream.

As always, thanks for tuning into Soundcheck. Looking forward to another great year. Happy listening!
