New Additions to Radio K - Albums
New albums, now in rotation
Eiafuawn - Endless Body EP
Side project of Ex-Duster member Clay Parton. This EP is a follow up to their only other album, 2006's cult famous Birds in The Ground. Where their earlier work has a patchwork feel with mostly acoustic styling, Endless Body is a smoother kind of slowcore that builds up to a fuzzy finale with last song 'Incantation.'
RIYL: Duster, Kitty Craft, Helvetica, Horse Jumper of Love
Fav track: People Talk, Incantation
Gilla Band - Pugnello
Post-punk from Dublin Ireland. On the band's fourth album they continue their perfect mix of noise rock and dance punk. Imagine the strokes put through an industrial blender.
RIYL: Black Midi, Protomartyr, YHWH Nailgun, Model / Actriz
Fav track: Alogia
Blondshell - Violins
Violins is Sabrina Tietlbaum's third album as Blondshell. Baroque rose-tinged indie pop meets widescreen 90's alt-rock.
RIYL: Liz Phair, The Last Dinner Party, Snail Mail, St. Vincent
Fav track: Heart Has To Work So Hard
The Van Pelt - Remain Obscure
The Van Pelt are an emo/indie rock band from NY, originally active from 1993-97. When they broke up, members went on to play in other cult classic bands including Jets to Brazil and Blonde Redhead. Now they're back for a reunion album! I love their mix of emo, talking post-punk, and art pop.
RIYL: Braid, Block Party, Algernon Cadwallader, Lifter Puller
Fav track: Kris is Riding Horses in Ojai
M83 - I Wrote You A Letter
Electronic music made by French artist Anthony Gonzalez. If the name sounds slightly familiar, you probably know this artist from his 2011 hit Midnight City. I Wrote You A Letter is simultaneously more spacious and more intimate, with Gonzalez describing it as an attempt to return to his earlier styles of bedroom recording.
RIYL: Caribou, MGMT, The xx
Fav track: Blister Sunrise
Julia Jacklin - The Gem
Fourth album from the Australian singer-songwriter. Incredibly catchy pop-folk-rock, this is her label debut for 4AD.
RIYL: Courntey Barnett, Sharon Van Etten, Big Thief
Fav track: If I Had The Hand of God
Harlow - Dumb Luck
LOCAL folk rock. Really gorgeous acoustic stylings with lap steel and lots of harmonies. We had em in for a live session a few weeks ago you can check it out on our youtube!
RIYL: Frog, This Is Loreli, MJ Lenderman,The Band
Fav track: Better With a Buddy
New Additions to Radio K - Singles
New singles, now in rotation
Horse Jumper of Love - Heather(2013)
Horse Jumper of Love is one of the most quietly influential acts in indie rock right now, popularising a particularly syrupy kind of confessional slowcore. Their debut self-titled album is about to turn 10 years old, and the band is releasing a deluxe version to celebrate. This version includes bonus tracks and 4-track demos of the original songs. Incredible stuff !
Robert Lester Folsom - April Suzanne
Off an upcoming reissue from this cult classic singer songwriter.
RIP Magic - Stadium Drive
Fun trippy mix of britpop, dance and dub from the UK
Kelley Smith - Come Down Oh Maid
LOCAL folk
Ulyssescfm - It's What You Know
