Belle And Sebastian	When We Were Very Young	Late Developers	Matador	2023	Belle and Sebastian hit the ground running in 2023 with new album Late Developers, released this Friday, January 13th. Arriving almost back-to-back to 2022's Top Ten album 'A Bit of Previous', 'Late Developers' comes on like its predecessor's sun-kissed cousin. It is a full-hearted embrace of the band's brightest tendencies that is not only fresh and immediate but possessing of that Belle and Sebastian je ne sais quoi of a group that will always be there for you with the perfect word or melody for the moment. The A.A. Milne-referencing “When We Were Very Young” is a moodier, piano-driven number that might hit early fans a bit close to home. Murdoch’s narrator, a despondent commuter who can’t muster two shits about his prior creative passions, yearns eloquently for contentment in routine—in “football scores” and “my daily worship of the sublime”—but sorry, too bad: “We’ve got kids and dystopia,” sings the frontman, who recently turned 54. Moreso than ever B&S still have that moody magic.	*	0:04:23 (Pop-up)
Lael Neale	I Am The River "I Am The River" by "Lael Neale"	I Am The River Single	Sub Pop Records	2023	Lael Neale is an American indie rock musician from Virginia and has released two albums. Her first, I'll Be Your Man, was released in 2015 on Liberal Arts. Neale's second record, Acquainted With Night, was released in 2021 on Sub Pop.Lael Neale returns with her new full-length album Star Eaters Delight, out on April 21st worldwide from Sub Pop. To tease the release she’s shared, album opener ‘I Am The River’ whose minimal beat and tremulous guitar notes that splatter patterns across a canvas are like Suicide if they were given a wider palette.	*	0:08:08 (Pop-up)
Ulrika Spacek	The Sheer Drop "The Sheer Drop" by "Ulrika Spacek"	The Sheer Drop Single	Tough Love	2023	London's Ulrika Spacek are back with Compact Trauma, their first record in five years, which will be out March 10 via Tough Love. The album began life in 2018, not long after the release of their great Suggested Listening EP, with initial recording at their own KEN studio/HQ. Having lost the space in 2019, it was completed in various locations over the next four years, exasperated by pandemic lockdown and inter-band tensions. They made it through to the other side, though, and "The Sheer Drop" is a fantastic first taste of the album, a swaggering song full of thrilling dynamics that pulls from psych, noise and krautrock elements.		0:11:43 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Daniel Villareal	Ofelia "Ofelia" by "Daniel Villareal"	Panamá 77	International Anthem	2022	On almost any night of the week, you’ll find him DJing at atleast one spot on bustling 18th Street in his home neighborhood of Pilsen.		0:17:33 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Daniel Villarreal	Uncanny "Uncanny" by "Daniel Villarreal"	Panamá 77	International Anthem	2022	Panamá 77 – a vibrant and verdant suite of multi-textural, jazz-laced psychedelic instrumental folk-funk – is the debut album by Panamá-born, Chicago-based drummer and DJ Daniel Villarreal. Though it’s a debut work in the eyes of the world, Villarreal has long been a widely known and beloved character on the Chicago music scene.		0:22:17 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Daniel Villareal	Bella Vista "Bella Vista" by "Daniel Villareal"	Panamá 77	International Anthem	2022	Villarreal may be most known for his big style and magnetic personality, but to musicians on the scene, it’s as much for his talents as a malleable and reliable drummer, with a deep pocket in many styles and sounds. Through Dos Santos and Ida y Vuelta, he’s demonstrated a range of knowledge and skill in various stripes of folkloric Latin music; but, ironically, he didn’t really play traditional Latin music until he moved to the States from his hometown Panamá City. His deepest roots in drumming are from the progressive punk and hardcore scenes of Central America, where his bands NOHAYDIA and 2 Huevos 1 Camino were active in the late 90s. Those formative experiences are the foundation of his career in music.		0:24:46 (Pop-up)
Cheap Teeth	He Cracked "He Cracked" by "Cheap Teeth"	Maureen's	Cheap Teeth	2023	Quartet from Edinburgh. This was released Jan 28, 2023, the day after they broke up. "Announcement! It is with heavy hearts that we inform you Cheap Teeth has come to an end. It has been an amazing ride, and one that couldn't have run for as long as it did without you coming to our shows and listening to our music. We will save you the cliché of doors closing and opening. However, while it saddens us to share with you that Cheap Teeth is indeed over, you will undoubtedly be seeing our faces in new projects soon. We cannot express enough, our love and thanks to those who have backed our corner over the years and to those we have had the pleasure of working with along the way. We leave you with a final gesture of good will. Two last songs, out midnight Love forever Joe, Joe, Jack & Sandy"	*	0:26:51 (Pop-up)
Italia 90	New Factory "New Factory" by "Italia 90"	Living Human Treasure	Brace Yourself Records	2023	First full-length from London, UK quartet, released Jan 18, 2023. "Living Human Treasure was recorded at the residential Echo Zoo studio in Eastbourne. With five days booked the whole album was tracked within two days with producer Louis Milburn. For the rest of the allotted time, they explored the nooks and crannies of the building and the bounty of unusual instruments lying around to add mystical textures to the bones of the music. From the album, ‘Competition‘ and ‘New Factory’ are pre-pandemic songs which were given a new depth. The latter in particular with its reverb and lightness of touch is a highlight on Living Human Treasure." (Partial quote from "God Is In The TV" 'zine/site) Italia 90 (Bandcamp)	*	0:28:47 (Pop-up)
Metz	Demolition Row "Demolition Row" by "Metz"	METZ / Adulkt Life [Split 7"]	What's Your Rupture?	2022	Released a year ago around Feb/Mar 2022, somehow this excellent song escaped us until now. METZ are a trio from Toronto: Alex Edkins (guitar & vocals), Hayden Menzies (drums), & Chris Slorach (bass). "“Demolition Row” is persistent, concise, and alarmingly physical. But its punch is escorted by this hypnotizing, un-strained vocal. “It’s quite singular,” in the words of METZ’s guitarist/singer Alex Edkins, “we’ve never sounded this way before.”" METZ (Bandcamp)		0:31:20 (Pop-up)
Opus Kink	Dust "Dust" by "Opus Kink"	My Eyes, Brother! 'EP'	Nice Swan Recordings	2023	Releases May 18, 2023. This track found its way to the world a couple of weeks ago on Feb 2. Accompanied by a video. "The music video for ‘Dust’ is the fault of Nomore Films, directed by Kyle McCarthy and Reuben Davies - please spin it until you’ve found all the hidden messages and absorbed the subtle sweetness of each shot." Opus Kink: Dust (Official Video) //////// Opus Kink (Bandcamp) Lastly, in a sidenote, they announced on Feb 10 that they had to cancel a show, due to an illness of one of their members. Later they posted: "Angus was rushed into hospital in the early hours of Thursday morning after waking up in the night in incredible amounts of pain. He is in a stable condition now but we have been told this morning that his spleen has ruptured which means he has to remain in hospital for the next few days under observation." We wish him a speedy recovery.	*	0:35:52 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Jessica Moss	Uncanny Being (Violin Study #2)	Galaxy Heart	Constellation	2022	Released October 7, 2022. "Montreal violinist, composer, and singer Jessica Moss has performed and recorded with a wide spectrum of ensembles over the past two decades. Best known for her fifteen-year tenure in political of Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra, Moss recorded and toured with the Vic Chesnutt band for the two albums released on Constellation, and worked extensively with Carla Bozulich’s Evangelista. She has performed and recorded as a guest with many of Montreal’s best known artists, including Big\|Brave on their acclaimed 2015 and 2017 releases on Southern Lord. She was featured in Jem Cohen’s Empires of Tin project, and joined members of Godspeed, Fugazi, White Magic and Dirty Three to perform the live score to Cohen’s film We Have An Anchor in various locations at Europe and the USA. Moss is also a founding member of avant-klezmer group Black Ox Orkestar, who reunited to release the much acclaimed album Everything Returns on Constellation in December 2022." "Galaxy Heart is the companion album to Phosphenes (Nov. 2021) and completes an intensive body of work that Montreal composer-violinist Jessica Moss wrote, performed and self-produced in deep isolation throughout 2020. As A Closer Listen wrote in its Top Ten Modern Composition list for 2021, “few musical voices represent so well the estrangement and intensity of our times; Moss is among the best of them.” Galaxy Heart consolidates this assessment, revealing the more exploratory and extemporaneous side of her profoundly expressive instrumental lyricism. Where Phosphenes showcased some of Moss’ most deliberate and accomplished post-classical compositions to date, Galaxy Heart quivers with a raw and searching energy, juxtaposing rough-hewn and honed pieces. Expanding the palette to include spiky semi-improvised electric guitar along with remotely-recorded guest contributions from drummer Jim White (Springtime, Xylouris White, Dirty Three) and contrebassist Thierry Amar (Godspeed You! Black Emperor) on a couple of tracks, the album inscribes a (mostly) instrumental space of bristling anguish, melancholia, resoluteness and conviction." Jessica Moss (Bandcamp)	*	0:39:53 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Jessica Moss	Opened Ending "Opened Ending" by "Jessica Moss"	Galaxy Heart	Constellation	2022	Released October 7, 2022. This is the closing track for the Jessica Moss album, “Opened Ending”, "her mesmerizing contribution to Constellation’s Corona Borealis Longform Singles Series from 2020, previously released only as a digital track and short film by indie legend Jem Cohen (Fugazi’s Instrument documentary, Benjamin Smoke, Museum Hours). Galaxy Heart is cosmic music of dark matter and interstellar dust, of gravitational waves and celestial grit that connect messy terrestrial life—with its human, animal, natural suffering and beauty—to chaotic and unruly universal forces."

Rana Alagöz & Selçuk Alagöz	Gel Yanima Gel	Biz Sizin Şarkılarınızla Büyüdük	Odeon Grubu Müzik Yapımcılık Ve Tic. A.Ş.	2009	Selçuk Alagöz is considered part of the Anatolian rock music along with greats likek Barış Manço and Erkin Koray. He made his name in 1964 with the "Golden Microphone" competition organized by Hürriyet newspaper. He continued his musical studies with his eponymous orchestra and his sister Rana Alagöz , the soloist of the orchestra. The Alagöz brothers participated in the Golden Microphone held in 1967 with an orchestra, including Cahit Berkay and Engin Yörükoğlu. He is involved in many charities in his native homeland, most notably bringing to light the dangers of smoking. Interesting side note: He studied and worked in the tourist industry. We're glad he decided to pick up music instead.		0:48:38 (Pop-up)
Altin Gün	Rakiya Su Katamam "Rakiya Su Katamam" by "Altin Gün"	Güzelliğin On Para Etmez Sigle	Glitterbeat	2023	Turkish psych-folk innovators Altin Gün have announced their eagerly anticipated new album, Aşk, arriving via ATO Records on Friday, March 10. Aşk sees Altın Gün veering away from the electronic, synth-drenched sound of their critically acclaimed 2021 albums, Âlem and Yol, to capture all the infectious power and urgency of the Amsterdam-based band’s famously propulsive live performances. Recorded using vintage equipment and techniques, the album’s ten groundbreaking tracks all represent visionary new readings of traditional Turkish folk tunes, revealing how these ancient songs remain eternally resonant and ripe for reinterpretation. Hailing from Amsterdam but coming from various backgrounds (Turkish, Dutch and more), Altın Gün have captured the world’s imagination with their indelible fusion of psychedelic rock, deep funk, synthpop, cosmic reggae, and more with the rich and incredibly diverse traditions of Anatolian and Turkish folk music.	*	0:51:41 (Pop-up)
En Attendant Ana	Same Old Story "Same Old Story" by "En Attendant Ana"	Principa Single	Trouble In Mind	2023	Parisian quintet En Attendant Ana have dazzled since day one. From the muted strains of their 2016 EP “Songs From The Cave”, to the assured 2018 TiM debut “Lost & Found”, to the sparkling refrains of “Juillet”; released just before the world collapsed around us, and which stood as the band’s rebirth and purest statement of their music ambitions - until now. “Principia” is the band’s third album and is without a doubt their best yet. Bandleader & principal songwriter Margaux Bouchaudon’s voice anchors many of the songs on “Principia”, her crystalline delivery ringing out like a bell as the band swoons & sways beneath her. The songs on “Principia” were composed from a place of confusion about the state of the world and her place in it, looking outward and inward for answers. They question our perception of others, the one they have of us and finally the one we have of ourselves in a society where the individual is king and the group is forgotten.	*	0:55:25 (Pop-up)
Unloved	I Did It "I Did It" by "Unloved"	I Did It. Single	Heavenly Recordins	2023	LA's Unloved, the trio of Jade Vincent, Keefus Ciancia and David Holmes who provided much of the soundtrack for Killing Eve, have announced new album Polychrome, which will be out February 24 via Heavenly. It comes just six months after their double album The Pink Album that featured appearances from Jarvis Cocker, Jon Spencer and more, and these nine songs are from the same sessions. Also like that one, Julian House (The Focus Group / Ghost Box Records) did the artwork. The first single is "I did it.," which keeps them right in their groovy, neo-noir nightcrawling world. “Simply put, 'I did it' is an affirmation of achievement," says Jade Vincent. "That deserves to be celebrated. Yeah, you did it. She did, she did.”	*	0:58:04 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Alain Goraguer	La Femme "La Femme" by "Alain Goraguer"	La Planète Sauvage (Soundtrack)	Pathé	1973	Alain Goraguer was a French jazz pianist,sideman of Boris Vian and Serge Gainsbourg, arranger and composer.

Dry Cleaning	Swampy "Swampy" by "Dry Cleaning"	Swampy & Sombre Two	4AD	2023	This track surfaced on Valentine's Day, earlier this week. "Dry Cleaning only just released their sophomore album Stumpwork last October, and now they’re back with plans to release a new EP called Swampy. Out in March, Swampy is composed of two previously unreleased tracks from the Stumpwork sessions, remixes and a demo. Today [Feb 14], Dry Cleaning are releasing those Stumpwork sessions tracks, “Swampy” and “Sombre Two.” “These two songs (‘Swampy’ and ‘Sombre Two’) were recorded in the Stumpwork sessions and they feel like good companions to us,” the band says. “They share a dusty, desolate, and spacey atmosphere. On the eve of this release we have been touring through the southwest US, where these songs feel at home in the arid, Mars-like landscape of the Arizona desert.”	*	1:12:17 (Pop-up)

Cranes	Lilies "Lilies" by "Cranes"	Loved	Sony	1994	"Formed in 1985 in Portsmouth, England by siblings Alison and Jim Shaw and named after the many mechanical cranes around the city's docks, Cranes are best known for the singular childlike vocals of lead singer Alison... The band's music has been described as "gothic minimalism", although the band have disputed the "gothic" label. They have also been described as dream pop. In the early 1990s they were briefly included as part of the shoegazing movement of the era... One reviewer described the band: "Imagine a small child singing lullabies at the bottom of the well with a background of grinding guitars"."		1:19:05 (Pop-up)
The Wedding Present	Broken Bow "Broken Bow" by "The Wedding Present"	Going, Going...	Scopitones	2016	Keep losing track of the Wedding Present, and picking up at various points here and there through the years. Seems it might have been a bit of an oversight to overlook this twenty track 2016 full-length. "Going, Going... is the ninth studio album by English rock band The Wedding Present. It was released on 2 September 2016 in the UK, and 2 December 2016 in the US, by their record label, Scopitones. It is a 20-song double multimedia album - each song has its own video included - that is also a travelogue about a journey across North America. Going, Going... came four years after the band's previous album, Valentina. David Gedge had decided that he didn't want the next album to be "just another album" and decided on a format of a number of interconnected pieces. In 2014 he travelled across America with photographer Jessica McMillan and made a number of films. After that, says Gedge, it was a case of "progressing through the music, trying all sorts of ideas, seeing how they work set against the visuals.""		1:22:56 (Pop-up)
My Bloody Valentine	How Do You Do It	EP's 1988–1991 [and Rarities]	Sony Music Entertainment	2012	This song was unreleased until a 2012 compilation which collected their EPs from 1988-1991 and augmented them with rarities & unreleased tracks.		1:25:32 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Dry Cleaning	Sombre Two "Sombre Two" by "Dry Cleaning"	Swampy & Sombre Two	4AD	2023	Available for ears to hear as of Valentine's Day, earlier this week. It is Dry Cleaning, but, this, uncharacteristically, is an instrumental track. For a band where the narrative, plaintive, spoken-word lyrics are so integral to their style, it is almost jarring to hear a song that does not feature any vocals at all. The song itself, however, is not jarring in the least.	*	1:29:03 (Pop-up)

Surrealist Temple Band, Insecure Men	Wayne's Poem	Music For The Poorly Educated	Trashmouth Records	2023	Surrealist Temple Band were formed when Insecure Men’s stage announcer ran away with two members of the band to make a spoken-word pop album, soundtracking the surreal poems, speeches and life advice by Lev Parker—poet, publisher and leader of the cult literary organization and its press, Morbid Books.	*	1:37:48 (Pop-up)
Yves Tumor	Echolalia "Echolalia" by "Yves Tumor"	Echolalia Single	Warp	2023	“Echolalia” is defined as an involuntary repetition of words or sounds, and this motif is carried throughout the song by Tumor’s singing, which stalls out wistfully, even orgasmically, on single syllables until they’re stretched out into an undeniable hook. The crashing cymbals, syncopated drumming, and pile-driving bassline are all familiar components of Tumor’s music...A spoken interlude halfway through the song spells out a kind of philosophy of connection: One person’s love cannot be complete for two, making the song a sickly sweet compliment to the jagged abjection of Tumor’s previous track “God Is a Circle.” On “Echolalia” the singer opens themselves to their lover, and the resulting pain feels so good.	*	1:39:33 (Pop-up)
LIFE	Our Love Is Growing "Our Love Is Growing" by "LIFE"	Our Love Is Growing EP	Afghan Moon	2023	Our Love is Growing is a portrayal of closeness. It unearths our feelings on relationship and is built around the theme of intimacy with the tracks resolve being that love is universal. The track is an important spinal piece from North East Coastal Town. It allowed us to experiment with factory style drum machines that pay homage to early Joy Division and The Strokes whilst we created a lush musical canvas inspired by some of Sonic Youth’s more intimate sounds.	*	1:42:32 (Pop-up)
Bran Van 3000	Exactly Like Me "Exactly Like Me" by "Bran Van 3000"	Glee	Audiogram Records	1998	Bran Van 3000 (also known as BV3) is a Canadian alternative rock and hip hop collective from Montreal, Quebec. Founded by James Di Salvio and E.P. Bergen, they collaborated on a number of songs with Stéphane Moraille, Sara Johnston, Steve "Liquid" Hawley, Jayne Hill, Jean Leloup, Kim Bingham, Pierre-Luc Cerat and many other musicians. The name of the group is derived etymologically from Swedish liquor Brännvin, a general term referring to any type of distilled spirit. The name originated as a joke associated with the taupe-coloured Volkswagen Camper Van owned by Bergen in the mid-1990s which was said to run solely on bran flakes, brännvin and brand recognition when carrying the artists on tour around Canada.		1:45:28 (Pop-up)
Gymshorts	Love You Funny "Love You Funny" by "Gymshorts"	Love You Funny Single	Freeman Street	2022	Gymshorts is from Rhode Island and like the band’s home state frontwoman Sarah Greenwell is a petite powerhouse that marches to the beat of her own drum. Endearingly rebellious, fiercely independent, and hellbent on causing a commotion, Greenwell embodies the kind of rambunctious unpredictability that has personified some of pop culture’s most legendary troublemakers; a little bit Bart Simpson, a hint of Kevin McCallister, and a dash of Dennis The Menace form the inspirational foundation of Gymshorts’ particular brand of punk n roll, smoked to perfection in the back of Jeff Spicoli’s van. Gymshorts are a sarcastic grin and a pair of bloodshot eyes behind pitch-black Wayfarers in the back row of class, a best friend and a bad influence all rolled into one.		1:48:57 (Pop-up)
Julian Cope	Sunspots - John Peel Session	Floored Genius Vol. 2	Universal Music	2010	"Sunspots" is a song by the English singer-songwriter Julian Cope. It is the only single released in support of his second album Fried. The album was much more raw in approach than its predecessor World Shut Your Mouth: in many respects it prefigured the looser and more mystical style which Cope would follow and be praised for in the next decade. Notoriously, the sleeve featured a naked Cope crouched on top of the Alvecote Mound slag heap clad only in a large turtle shell. Song topics and approaches included early examples of Cope’s subsequent tendency to mythologise his own life and connect it to legend and ritual		1:51:53 (Pop-up)

Belle And Sebastian	When We Were Very Young	Late Developers	Matador	2023	Belle and Sebastian hit the ground running in 2023 with new album Late Developers, released this Friday, January 13th. Arriving almost back-to-back to 2022's Top Ten album 'A Bit of Previous', 'Late Developers' comes on like its predecessor's sun-kissed cousin. It is a full-hearted embrace of the band's brightest tendencies that is not only fresh and immediate but possessing of that Belle and Sebastian je ne sais quoi of a group that will always be there for you with the perfect word or melody for the moment. The A.A. Milne-referencing “When We Were Very Young” is a moodier, piano-driven number that might hit early fans a bit close to home. Murdoch’s narrator, a despondent commuter who can’t muster two shits about his prior creative passions, yearns eloquently for contentment in routine—in “football scores” and “my daily worship of the sublime”—but sorry, too bad: “We’ve got kids and dystopia,” sings the frontman, who recently turned 54. Moreso than ever B&S still have that moody magic.	*	0:04:23 (Pop-up)
Lael Neale	I Am The River "I Am The River" by "Lael Neale"	I Am The River Single	Sub Pop Records	2023	Lael Neale is an American indie rock musician from Virginia and has released two albums. Her first, I'll Be Your Man, was released in 2015 on Liberal Arts. Neale's second record, Acquainted With Night, was released in 2021 on Sub Pop.Lael Neale returns with her new full-length album Star Eaters Delight, out on April 21st worldwide from Sub Pop. To tease the release she’s shared, album opener ‘I Am The River’ whose minimal beat and tremulous guitar notes that splatter patterns across a canvas are like Suicide if they were given a wider palette.	*	0:08:08 (Pop-up)
Ulrika Spacek	The Sheer Drop "The Sheer Drop" by "Ulrika Spacek"	The Sheer Drop Single	Tough Love	2023	London's Ulrika Spacek are back with Compact Trauma, their first record in five years, which will be out March 10 via Tough Love. The album began life in 2018, not long after the release of their great Suggested Listening EP, with initial recording at their own KEN studio/HQ. Having lost the space in 2019, it was completed in various locations over the next four years, exasperated by pandemic lockdown and inter-band tensions. They made it through to the other side, though, and "The Sheer Drop" is a fantastic first taste of the album, a swaggering song full of thrilling dynamics that pulls from psych, noise and krautrock elements.		0:11:43 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Daniel Villareal	Ofelia "Ofelia" by "Daniel Villareal"	Panamá 77	International Anthem	2022	On almost any night of the week, you’ll find him DJing at atleast one spot on bustling 18th Street in his home neighborhood of Pilsen.		0:17:33 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Daniel Villarreal	Uncanny "Uncanny" by "Daniel Villarreal"	Panamá 77	International Anthem	2022	Panamá 77 – a vibrant and verdant suite of multi-textural, jazz-laced psychedelic instrumental folk-funk – is the debut album by Panamá-born, Chicago-based drummer and DJ Daniel Villarreal. Though it’s a debut work in the eyes of the world, Villarreal has long been a widely known and beloved character on the Chicago music scene.		0:22:17 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Daniel Villareal	Bella Vista "Bella Vista" by "Daniel Villareal"	Panamá 77	International Anthem	2022	Villarreal may be most known for his big style and magnetic personality, but to musicians on the scene, it’s as much for his talents as a malleable and reliable drummer, with a deep pocket in many styles and sounds. Through Dos Santos and Ida y Vuelta, he’s demonstrated a range of knowledge and skill in various stripes of folkloric Latin music; but, ironically, he didn’t really play traditional Latin music until he moved to the States from his hometown Panamá City. His deepest roots in drumming are from the progressive punk and hardcore scenes of Central America, where his bands NOHAYDIA and 2 Huevos 1 Camino were active in the late 90s. Those formative experiences are the foundation of his career in music.		0:24:46 (Pop-up)
Cheap Teeth	He Cracked "He Cracked" by "Cheap Teeth"	Maureen's	Cheap Teeth	2023	Quartet from Edinburgh. This was released Jan 28, 2023, the day after they broke up. "Announcement! It is with heavy hearts that we inform you Cheap Teeth has come to an end. It has been an amazing ride, and one that couldn't have run for as long as it did without you coming to our shows and listening to our music. We will save you the cliché of doors closing and opening. However, while it saddens us to share with you that Cheap Teeth is indeed over, you will undoubtedly be seeing our faces in new projects soon. We cannot express enough, our love and thanks to those who have backed our corner over the years and to those we have had the pleasure of working with along the way. We leave you with a final gesture of good will. Two last songs, out midnight Love forever Joe, Joe, Jack & Sandy"	*	0:26:51 (Pop-up)
Italia 90	New Factory "New Factory" by "Italia 90"	Living Human Treasure	Brace Yourself Records	2023	First full-length from London, UK quartet, released Jan 18, 2023. "Living Human Treasure was recorded at the residential Echo Zoo studio in Eastbourne. With five days booked the whole album was tracked within two days with producer Louis Milburn. For the rest of the allotted time, they explored the nooks and crannies of the building and the bounty of unusual instruments lying around to add mystical textures to the bones of the music. From the album, ‘Competition‘ and ‘New Factory’ are pre-pandemic songs which were given a new depth. The latter in particular with its reverb and lightness of touch is a highlight on Living Human Treasure." (Partial quote from "God Is In The TV" 'zine/site) Italia 90 (Bandcamp)	*	0:28:47 (Pop-up)
Metz	Demolition Row "Demolition Row" by "Metz"	METZ / Adulkt Life [Split 7"]	What's Your Rupture?	2022	Released a year ago around Feb/Mar 2022, somehow this excellent song escaped us until now. METZ are a trio from Toronto: Alex Edkins (guitar & vocals), Hayden Menzies (drums), & Chris Slorach (bass). "“Demolition Row” is persistent, concise, and alarmingly physical. But its punch is escorted by this hypnotizing, un-strained vocal. “It’s quite singular,” in the words of METZ’s guitarist/singer Alex Edkins, “we’ve never sounded this way before.”" METZ (Bandcamp)		0:31:20 (Pop-up)
Opus Kink	Dust "Dust" by "Opus Kink"	My Eyes, Brother! 'EP'	Nice Swan Recordings	2023	Releases May 18, 2023. This track found its way to the world a couple of weeks ago on Feb 2. Accompanied by a video. "The music video for ‘Dust’ is the fault of Nomore Films, directed by Kyle McCarthy and Reuben Davies - please spin it until you’ve found all the hidden messages and absorbed the subtle sweetness of each shot." Opus Kink: Dust (Official Video) //////// Opus Kink (Bandcamp) Lastly, in a sidenote, they announced on Feb 10 that they had to cancel a show, due to an illness of one of their members. Later they posted: "Angus was rushed into hospital in the early hours of Thursday morning after waking up in the night in incredible amounts of pain. He is in a stable condition now but we have been told this morning that his spleen has ruptured which means he has to remain in hospital for the next few days under observation." We wish him a speedy recovery.	*	0:35:52 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Jessica Moss	Uncanny Being (Violin Study #2)	Galaxy Heart	Constellation	2022	Released October 7, 2022. "Montreal violinist, composer, and singer Jessica Moss has performed and recorded with a wide spectrum of ensembles over the past two decades. Best known for her fifteen-year tenure in political of Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra, Moss recorded and toured with the Vic Chesnutt band for the two albums released on Constellation, and worked extensively with Carla Bozulich’s Evangelista. She has performed and recorded as a guest with many of Montreal’s best known artists, including Big\|Brave on their acclaimed 2015 and 2017 releases on Southern Lord. She was featured in Jem Cohen’s Empires of Tin project, and joined members of Godspeed, Fugazi, White Magic and Dirty Three to perform the live score to Cohen’s film We Have An Anchor in various locations at Europe and the USA. Moss is also a founding member of avant-klezmer group Black Ox Orkestar, who reunited to release the much acclaimed album Everything Returns on Constellation in December 2022." "Galaxy Heart is the companion album to Phosphenes (Nov. 2021) and completes an intensive body of work that Montreal composer-violinist Jessica Moss wrote, performed and self-produced in deep isolation throughout 2020. As A Closer Listen wrote in its Top Ten Modern Composition list for 2021, “few musical voices represent so well the estrangement and intensity of our times; Moss is among the best of them.” Galaxy Heart consolidates this assessment, revealing the more exploratory and extemporaneous side of her profoundly expressive instrumental lyricism. Where Phosphenes showcased some of Moss’ most deliberate and accomplished post-classical compositions to date, Galaxy Heart quivers with a raw and searching energy, juxtaposing rough-hewn and honed pieces. Expanding the palette to include spiky semi-improvised electric guitar along with remotely-recorded guest contributions from drummer Jim White (Springtime, Xylouris White, Dirty Three) and contrebassist Thierry Amar (Godspeed You! Black Emperor) on a couple of tracks, the album inscribes a (mostly) instrumental space of bristling anguish, melancholia, resoluteness and conviction." Jessica Moss (Bandcamp)	*	0:39:53 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Jessica Moss	Opened Ending "Opened Ending" by "Jessica Moss"	Galaxy Heart	Constellation	2022	Released October 7, 2022. This is the closing track for the Jessica Moss album, “Opened Ending”, "her mesmerizing contribution to Constellation’s Corona Borealis Longform Singles Series from 2020, previously released only as a digital track and short film by indie legend Jem Cohen (Fugazi’s Instrument documentary, Benjamin Smoke, Museum Hours). Galaxy Heart is cosmic music of dark matter and interstellar dust, of gravitational waves and celestial grit that connect messy terrestrial life—with its human, animal, natural suffering and beauty—to chaotic and unruly universal forces."

Rana Alagöz & Selçuk Alagöz	Gel Yanima Gel	Biz Sizin Şarkılarınızla Büyüdük	Odeon Grubu Müzik Yapımcılık Ve Tic. A.Ş.	2009	Selçuk Alagöz is considered part of the Anatolian rock music along with greats likek Barış Manço and Erkin Koray. He made his name in 1964 with the "Golden Microphone" competition organized by Hürriyet newspaper. He continued his musical studies with his eponymous orchestra and his sister Rana Alagöz , the soloist of the orchestra. The Alagöz brothers participated in the Golden Microphone held in 1967 with an orchestra, including Cahit Berkay and Engin Yörükoğlu. He is involved in many charities in his native homeland, most notably bringing to light the dangers of smoking. Interesting side note: He studied and worked in the tourist industry. We're glad he decided to pick up music instead.		0:48:38 (Pop-up)
Altin Gün	Rakiya Su Katamam "Rakiya Su Katamam" by "Altin Gün"	Güzelliğin On Para Etmez Sigle	Glitterbeat	2023	Turkish psych-folk innovators Altin Gün have announced their eagerly anticipated new album, Aşk, arriving via ATO Records on Friday, March 10. Aşk sees Altın Gün veering away from the electronic, synth-drenched sound of their critically acclaimed 2021 albums, Âlem and Yol, to capture all the infectious power and urgency of the Amsterdam-based band’s famously propulsive live performances. Recorded using vintage equipment and techniques, the album’s ten groundbreaking tracks all represent visionary new readings of traditional Turkish folk tunes, revealing how these ancient songs remain eternally resonant and ripe for reinterpretation. Hailing from Amsterdam but coming from various backgrounds (Turkish, Dutch and more), Altın Gün have captured the world’s imagination with their indelible fusion of psychedelic rock, deep funk, synthpop, cosmic reggae, and more with the rich and incredibly diverse traditions of Anatolian and Turkish folk music.	*	0:51:41 (Pop-up)
En Attendant Ana	Same Old Story "Same Old Story" by "En Attendant Ana"	Principa Single	Trouble In Mind	2023	Parisian quintet En Attendant Ana have dazzled since day one. From the muted strains of their 2016 EP “Songs From The Cave”, to the assured 2018 TiM debut “Lost & Found”, to the sparkling refrains of “Juillet”; released just before the world collapsed around us, and which stood as the band’s rebirth and purest statement of their music ambitions - until now. “Principia” is the band’s third album and is without a doubt their best yet. Bandleader & principal songwriter Margaux Bouchaudon’s voice anchors many of the songs on “Principia”, her crystalline delivery ringing out like a bell as the band swoons & sways beneath her. The songs on “Principia” were composed from a place of confusion about the state of the world and her place in it, looking outward and inward for answers. They question our perception of others, the one they have of us and finally the one we have of ourselves in a society where the individual is king and the group is forgotten.	*	0:55:25 (Pop-up)
Unloved	I Did It "I Did It" by "Unloved"	I Did It. Single	Heavenly Recordins	2023	LA's Unloved, the trio of Jade Vincent, Keefus Ciancia and David Holmes who provided much of the soundtrack for Killing Eve, have announced new album Polychrome, which will be out February 24 via Heavenly. It comes just six months after their double album The Pink Album that featured appearances from Jarvis Cocker, Jon Spencer and more, and these nine songs are from the same sessions. Also like that one, Julian House (The Focus Group / Ghost Box Records) did the artwork. The first single is "I did it.," which keeps them right in their groovy, neo-noir nightcrawling world. “Simply put, 'I did it' is an affirmation of achievement," says Jade Vincent. "That deserves to be celebrated. Yeah, you did it. She did, she did.”	*	0:58:04 (Pop-up)

Dry Cleaning	Swampy "Swampy" by "Dry Cleaning"	Swampy & Sombre Two	4AD	2023	This track surfaced on Valentine's Day, earlier this week. "Dry Cleaning only just released their sophomore album Stumpwork last October, and now they’re back with plans to release a new EP called Swampy. Out in March, Swampy is composed of two previously unreleased tracks from the Stumpwork sessions, remixes and a demo. Today [Feb 14], Dry Cleaning are releasing those Stumpwork sessions tracks, “Swampy” and “Sombre Two.” “These two songs (‘Swampy’ and ‘Sombre Two’) were recorded in the Stumpwork sessions and they feel like good companions to us,” the band says. “They share a dusty, desolate, and spacey atmosphere. On the eve of this release we have been touring through the southwest US, where these songs feel at home in the arid, Mars-like landscape of the Arizona desert.”	*	1:12:17 (Pop-up)
Lloy	VALENTINE "VALENTINE" by "Lloy"	遮断 - Cut Off Blind	Grooovie Drunker Records / K.O.G.A Records	2008	Don't know much about this. A trio from Japan at the time of this release: Bass – Atsushi / Drums [Beats] – Shigeo Kato / Guitar – Yuki Matsubara. Perhaps their FB page is helpful? Lloy FB page		1:15:49 (Pop-up)
Cranes	Lilies "Lilies" by "Cranes"	Loved	Sony	1994	"Formed in 1985 in Portsmouth, England by siblings Alison and Jim Shaw and named after the many mechanical cranes around the city's docks, Cranes are best known for the singular childlike vocals of lead singer Alison... The band's music has been described as "gothic minimalism", although the band have disputed the "gothic" label. They have also been described as dream pop. In the early 1990s they were briefly included as part of the shoegazing movement of the era... One reviewer described the band: "Imagine a small child singing lullabies at the bottom of the well with a background of grinding guitars"."		1:19:05 (Pop-up)
The Wedding Present	Broken Bow "Broken Bow" by "The Wedding Present"	Going, Going...	Scopitones	2016	Keep losing track of the Wedding Present, and picking up at various points here and there through the years. Seems it might have been a bit of an oversight to overlook this twenty track 2016 full-length. "Going, Going... is the ninth studio album by English rock band The Wedding Present. It was released on 2 September 2016 in the UK, and 2 December 2016 in the US, by their record label, Scopitones. It is a 20-song double multimedia album - each song has its own video included - that is also a travelogue about a journey across North America. Going, Going... came four years after the band's previous album, Valentina. David Gedge had decided that he didn't want the next album to be "just another album" and decided on a format of a number of interconnected pieces. In 2014 he travelled across America with photographer Jessica McMillan and made a number of films. After that, says Gedge, it was a case of "progressing through the music, trying all sorts of ideas, seeing how they work set against the visuals.""		1:22:56 (Pop-up)
My Bloody Valentine	How Do You Do It	EP's 1988–1991 [and Rarities]	Sony Music Entertainment	2012	This song was unreleased until a 2012 compilation which collected their EPs from 1988-1991 and augmented them with rarities & unreleased tracks.		1:25:32 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Dry Cleaning	Sombre Two "Sombre Two" by "Dry Cleaning"	Swampy & Sombre Two	4AD	2023	Available for ears to hear as of Valentine's Day, earlier this week. It is Dry Cleaning, but, this, uncharacteristically, is an instrumental track. For a band where the narrative, plaintive, spoken-word lyrics are so integral to their style, it is almost jarring to hear a song that does not feature any vocals at all. The song itself, however, is not jarring in the least.	*	1:29:03 (Pop-up)
Parry Gripp	I Love My Kitty Cat "I Love My Kitty Cat" by "Parry Gripp"	I Love My Kitty Cat	Parry Gripp	2017	For Meep Moop, our fuzzy Valentine...		1:37:03 (Pop-up)
Surrealist Temple Band, Insecure Men	Wayne's Poem	Music For The Poorly Educated	Trashmouth Records	2023	Surrealist Temple Band were formed when Insecure Men’s stage announcer ran away with two members of the band to make a spoken-word pop album, soundtracking the surreal poems, speeches and life advice by Lev Parker—poet, publisher and leader of the cult literary organization and its press, Morbid Books.	*	1:37:48 (Pop-up)
Yves Tumor	Echolalia "Echolalia" by "Yves Tumor"	Echolalia Single	Warp	2023	“Echolalia” is defined as an involuntary repetition of words or sounds, and this motif is carried throughout the song by Tumor’s singing, which stalls out wistfully, even orgasmically, on single syllables until they’re stretched out into an undeniable hook. The crashing cymbals, syncopated drumming, and pile-driving bassline are all familiar components of Tumor’s music...A spoken interlude halfway through the song spells out a kind of philosophy of connection: One person’s love cannot be complete for two, making the song a sickly sweet compliment to the jagged abjection of Tumor’s previous track “God Is a Circle.” On “Echolalia” the singer opens themselves to their lover, and the resulting pain feels so good.	*	1:39:33 (Pop-up)
LIFE	Our Love Is Growing "Our Love Is Growing" by "LIFE"	Our Love Is Growing EP	Afghan Moon	2023	Our Love is Growing is a portrayal of closeness. It unearths our feelings on relationship and is built around the theme of intimacy with the tracks resolve being that love is universal. The track is an important spinal piece from North East Coastal Town. It allowed us to experiment with factory style drum machines that pay homage to early Joy Division and The Strokes whilst we created a lush musical canvas inspired by some of Sonic Youth’s more intimate sounds.	*	1:42:32 (Pop-up)
Bran Van 3000	Exactly Like Me "Exactly Like Me" by "Bran Van 3000"	Glee	Audiogram Records	1998	Bran Van 3000 (also known as BV3) is a Canadian alternative rock and hip hop collective from Montreal, Quebec. Founded by James Di Salvio and E.P. Bergen, they collaborated on a number of songs with Stéphane Moraille, Sara Johnston, Steve "Liquid" Hawley, Jayne Hill, Jean Leloup, Kim Bingham, Pierre-Luc Cerat and many other musicians. The name of the group is derived etymologically from Swedish liquor Brännvin, a general term referring to any type of distilled spirit. The name originated as a joke associated with the taupe-coloured Volkswagen Camper Van owned by Bergen in the mid-1990s which was said to run solely on bran flakes, brännvin and brand recognition when carrying the artists on tour around Canada.		1:45:28 (Pop-up)
Gymshorts	Love You Funny "Love You Funny" by "Gymshorts"	Love You Funny Single	Freeman Street	2022	Gymshorts is from Rhode Island and like the band’s home state frontwoman Sarah Greenwell is a petite powerhouse that marches to the beat of her own drum. Endearingly rebellious, fiercely independent, and hellbent on causing a commotion, Greenwell embodies the kind of rambunctious unpredictability that has personified some of pop culture’s most legendary troublemakers; a little bit Bart Simpson, a hint of Kevin McCallister, and a dash of Dennis The Menace form the inspirational foundation of Gymshorts’ particular brand of punk n roll, smoked to perfection in the back of Jeff Spicoli’s van. Gymshorts are a sarcastic grin and a pair of bloodshot eyes behind pitch-black Wayfarers in the back row of class, a best friend and a bad influence all rolled into one.		1:48:57 (Pop-up)
Julian Cope	Sunspots - John Peel Session	Floored Genius Vol. 2	Universal Music	2010	"Sunspots" is a song by the English singer-songwriter Julian Cope. It is the only single released in support of his second album Fried. The album was much more raw in approach than its predecessor World Shut Your Mouth: in many respects it prefigured the looser and more mystical style which Cope would follow and be praised for in the next decade. Notoriously, the sleeve featured a naked Cope crouched on top of the Alvecote Mound slag heap clad only in a large turtle shell. Song topics and approaches included early examples of Cope’s subsequent tendency to mythologise his own life and connect it to legend and ritual		1:51:53 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Felix Laband	Derek and Me "Derek and Me" by "Felix Laband"	The Soft White Hand	Compost Records	2022	I like this song.		1:54:49 (Pop-up)
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark	In Heaven Above - 4NEU Demo	In Heaven Above Single	Virgin Records	2023	In Heaven Above (4-Neu Demo) is the title of a track released by OMD on 02 February 2023 as a preview to the upcing 40th anniversary edition of the Dazzle Ships album. The track was released on digital platforms only, available as paid download or in streaming. As labelled, the track appears to be an early version of 4-Neu, a song which was released in February 1983 as the B-side to the Genetic Engineering single.	*	2:00:30 (Pop-up)
