Sydney indie outfit Shrapnel started as the bedroom project of Sam Wilkinson (Day Ravies, Mope City, Beef Jerk) but soon morphed into a full band and are back with a stunning new track from their soon to be released album Alasitas on Tenth Court that splits the difference between pastoral psych folk and beguiling pop along the lines of Look Blue Go Purple. Just one of nine stunning tracks to enjoy on this episode.

Dark Tea, the solo project of LA-based Gary Canino and he continues to follow the theme on previous releases with his amazing new self-titled record. That being – the wavering perception of time and the impermanence of love, in an attempt to transcend the mundane. It’s a top notch release featuring an amazing array of talented musicians. Highly recommended!

Here’s an old school style of program, random assorted goodies, playing join the dots between new and old, join me as I tag team with myself with a fine assortment of tunes.

Jacober is a Baltimore native drummer/ percussionist, songwriter, composer, & producer. He’s an in demand drummer for many cutting edge projects. His solo music captures a unique euphoric sound through marimba, drums, synth, guitars, and lush vocals. His latest work Light Years was created after a time of intense personal change and explores the ideas of growing pains and reluctant optimism.

After spending nearly a decade recording and touring with the collaborative psych rock band Quilt, front-person Anna Fox Rochinski has completed her first solo record, Cherry. Over the last few years, Rochinski realized pop was the most authentic vehicle for her and unites her varied musical influences under its umbrella, with an ebullient blend of progressive dance, electro funk, and DIY R&B. She’s just one of a selection of amazing strong women featured on this episode.

Why start at the beginning when you can go straight to the end? Actually I love listening to albums chronologically, but some people cherry pick or even abandon listening before they get to the last track on a release. Hidden treasures or duds at the end? You be the judge with this assortment of old and new tracks I really like a lot.
