This Jumbalaya episode has a lot of bleeps and bloops and glitchy sounds...yet still sounding musically palatable I think? (Or at least for me it does...that's my specialty picks-wise. :P )
This year is shaping up to be one of the best in music! I'm very much enjoying the newest from Chvrches and Grimes, and Le1f's release is quite the grower as well. I've showcased tracks from each of them.
I also throw back a little bit to 2007, right around the time Crystal Castles were just starting out, with a cool glitchy SoundCloud-only track, 'Leni'. You can download it for free on their SoundCloud page!
Crystal Castles got a new vocalist fairly recently, who just had her first live show a few days ago. Hopefully this means a new release is on the way!
I also enjoy my occasional instrumentals, as you can tell from my previous episodes. Works by music reviewer-approved artists Floating Points, Oneohtrix Point Never, and Arca make appearances on this episode.
Also, I did not know Zach Gray of the Zolas actually had another band! The Zolas make serious indie pop earworms so I was happy to learn that Zach Gray was also part of Unalaska, a new (and apparently fictional) indie electronic duo. Their self-titled EP is out on Vancouver-based label Light Organ Records (which is also the Zolas' home label).
Make sure to tune in 6-8pm Monday November 30 as I join Chris Spangenberg for some hip-hop and downtempo spinning! Also tune in next week for more exciting new indie electro...hoping to play a new one from Washington, DC-based GEMS. You'll find out when you tune in ;)
