Utility Fog

Sunday, 28th of May, 2006

Eek! Another action-packed show! Having been away last week, I've accumulated stacks of new stuff to play. So, Animal Collective give us a Nirvana cover, and Sonic Youth give us a track from a few years back; we have a new remix from Matthew Herbert of a Manchester band called Keith, and nice electronic indie from (I think) Melbourne's Pitching Woo. Sydney's Holly Throsby has a new album coming out, and we sample the lead track off it; and the lovely Psapp from the UK have a new album out too. Tunng's new CD is finally out, and indie stores in the UK get a version with two extra tracks; I had to get that version of course, and I give you one of those bonus tracks tonight. There's also new Subtle, new Espers, and something new and raucous on Constellation from Feu Thérèse... and much more! Scary, hey?
A lot of this stuff will be reprised next week, along with more new stuff, so tune in (on air or online!)
