  • Mabe Fratti

    20/06/2023 Duración: 29min

    "On the show this time, it's the avant songwriting of cellist Mabe Fratti. Mabe Fratti is a composer and cellist, born in Guatemala and now living in Mexico City. She is a rare bird - a cello player who also sings, who actually sings while playing the cello.  Her music is harmonically complex, rhythmically intrepid, and doesn’t shy away from dissonance. Against this backdrop she creates out of the ordinary melody - often surprisingly catchy.  She creates honestly, and - very closely with her chosen family of musicians. She would say they work “softly” with lots of room for improvisation and the musical personality of each player, of each friend. Her latest “Se Ve Desde Aqui” is available on Unheard of Hope records."Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  • Viagra Boys

    13/06/2023 Duración: 25min

    On the show this time, it’s the irreverent satire of Sweden's Viagra Boys. Viagra Boys lead with provocation. (Like if the name “Viagra Boys” doesn’t tip you off, we don’t know what to tell you.) They understand that in times when the patriarchal and fascist elements of society rise, it's essential that someone, something, somewhere - rises in opposition. To critique.  To mock. They use exaggerated characters that say outrageous things about the ridiculous and absurd things occurring in this time.  In this way they comment on masculinity, shootings, drug abuse and ADD, crime, the failures of “evolution”, monkeys of course, and for some reason - Shrimp. Their latest, 'Cave World,' is available on Year 0001.

  • Clinton Fearon

    06/06/2023 Duración: 26min

    On the show this time, it’s the classic reggae sounds of Seattle legend Clinton Fearon. Clinton Fearon is the real deal, an all-killer no-filler Jamaican reggae legend. He built his first guitar himself, at the age of 10, out of a single slab of wood, after seeing a life changing show - the Skatalites live in Kingston. He’s been living in Seattle part time since the late 80’s. He released an EP with his group The Defenders in 1989. Since then, with the Boogie Brown Band and as a solo artist, he’s put out a staggering 14 albums - culminating in his latest "Breaking News” available on the French label Baco Records.

  • Sofi Tukker

    30/05/2023 Duración: 24min

    On the show this time, it's the Bossa Nova electro pop of Sofi Tukker. Sofi Tukker is a duo - Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern. They met at an event - he was DJing, she was singing Bossa Nova. Tucker asked if he could remix a song, and they’ve been working together ever since. While they were both attending Brown, Tucker did a DJ set opening for the electro-funk-disco duo The Knocks. They encouraged him and Sophie to move to New York to make music. Good move. Their very first EP 'Soft Animals' opens with the song “Drinkee” which was eventually nominated for a Grammy. Their latest album 'WET TENNIS' (which stands for “When Everyone Tries To Evolve, Nothing Negative Is Safe”) is available on Ultra Music. Recorded 01/05/2023.

  • Satellites

    16/05/2023 Duración: 29min

    On the show this time it’s the Anatolian folk-psych of Satellites. Satellites describe themselves thus - “Lost somewhere between the mysterious alleys of 70s Istanbul, and the scorching sun and crystal blue sea of Jaffa Tel Aviv, the Şatellites’ sound shimmers between traditional Turkish folk and instrumentation, ethereal psychedelic guitar leads and groovy dance-floor basslines. The resulting concoction of songs draws on cross-continental influence, yet at its core is a desire to illuminate the vivid qualities of classic Turkish music, honoring the Anatolian folk and psych artists from this golden era of music.

  • Luna

    09/05/2023 Duración: 26min

    On the show this time, it’s the hypnotic rhythms and interlaced guitars of veteran New York rockers Luna. Luna is one of those bands that just sound right when you drop the needle on the record. They’ve been doing it for a long time. The band was started by Dean Wareham in 1991, after he quit the influential alt rock band Galaxie 500. There were a few lineup changes, and some life changes before it settled into the current lineup in 2000 - Dean, bassist Britta Philips, drummer Lee Wall and guitarist Sean Eden. The music would fit in a set with the Velvet Underground, Mercury Rev, and Spacemen 3. Their latest, 'A Sentimental Education,' is available on Double Feature Records and Bandcamp.

  • Hibou

    02/05/2023 Duración: 23min

    On the show this time, it’s the hook-laden sparkle-pop of Paris / Seattle songwriter - Hibou.Hibou is the solo project of songwriter and producer Peter Michel. Hibou means an owl. A french owl. Hoo la LA! Peter lives in Paris where all the owls are French. He recorded and produced, playing all the instruments but the drums.

  • Danielle Ponder

    25/04/2023 Duración: 25min

    On the show this time, it’s the Bond-theme worthy torch-songs of vocalist nonpareil - Danielle Ponder. Danielle Ponder blends her love of the blues, East Coast hip-hop, and 90s alternative rock with her gospel-ready voice. The music she makes is fresh and contemporary, even as her voice can only be described correctly as timeless. She sings to souls, she sings to spines, she activates humanity and humanizes activism. She's also a lawyer. Her full length, 'Some of Us Are Brave,' is available on Bandcamp, and Future Classic records. Recorded 12/08/2022.

  • Meule

    18/04/2023 Duración: 27min

    On the show this time, it’s the dual drummer groove-tronica of French band Meule. Meule is an atypical power-trio. Instead of the standard drums, bass, guitar - they went with drums, drums, guitar. The two drummers face each other across the stage, and actually share a single kick-drum. The guitar player facing down-stage looks over the top of the two sets. But - very important - there is also a massive modular synth, looming behind and operated by the guitar player. It’s big enough and interesting enough to almost count as a fourth member. The band plays their blend of psych rock / kraut rock / electronica / punk with relentless momentum. Their 6 song LP 'Meule' is available on Bandcamp, and new recordings are imminent. Recorded 12/07/2022.
