| Optic Sink |
Glass Blocks
|
Glass Blocks | Feel It Records | 2023 | A huge thank you to Feel It Records for donating this amazing record! A pledge of minimum 20$ gives you the opportunity to win this LP! Optic Sink is the post-punk project from Natalie Hoffmann (NOTS), Ben Bauermeister, and Keith Cooper. OPTIC SINK conjures memories of the minimalist electronic delivery of SUICIDE or the art-punk vibe of CRASH COURSE IN SCIENCE. “A Silver Key Can Open an Iron Lock, Somewhere” is a cover of Switzerland’s LILIPUT, and connects OPTIC SINK’s sound to the icy pop of Northern Europe. There are elements of austere post-punk which draw parallels to bands like DELTA 5. While most bands are busy attempting to develop an overwhelmingly full sound, OPTIC SINK takes the opposite course and leaves vast expanses of audible space. Pop delivery is tempered with frosty dissociation, all while synthesized noises develop fresh euphonious environments. LP possibly yours (draw to be held) for a $20 (minimum) donation -- " ///// CLICK THIS LINK TO DONATE TO WFMU (via Transmissions From Echo Beach) | 0:03:59 (Pop-up) | ||||
| Drahla |
Second Rhythm
|
Second Rhythm Single | Captured Tracks | 2024 | Leeds-based experimental rock band Drahla unveil their new single, “Second Rhythm,” the second offering from their highly anticipated sophomore album, angeltape, scheduled for release on April 5 via Captured Tracks. “Second Rhythm” marks a distinct yet thematically connected follow-up to their 2019 release “Primitive Rhythm.” According to vocalist and guitarist Luciel Brown, the new track represents “a bridge and a disconnect” between their critically acclaimed debut album, Useless Coordinates, and the forthcoming angeltape. Brown further characterizes the song as “reaching the handsome landscape and no longer being able to find it, but finding something else instead.” | * | 0:08:18 (Pop-up) | |||
| NOTS |
Woman Alone
|
3 | Goner Records | 2019 | The Memphis post-punk band’s third album wages guerrilla warfare against the patriarchal surveillance state. The most striking song is the surreal and poignant “Woman Alone.” Women are taught to travel in packs: Whether walking home late at night or going on a blind date, we live in a world where women are cornered. A woman alone is a radical and vulnerable concept. “Woman in a landscape/Where eyes line the frame,” hollers Hoffmann, in an ominously vivid rendering of the male gaze. Guitar distortion wails in the background against a racing bassline that charges the song with urgency. “What’s that like?” Hoffmann spits. “What’s that like to be a subject analyzed?” | 0:11:40 (Pop-up) | ||||
| Eryx London |
Parasite
|
Blagger | Eryx London | 2023 | Not sure how this banger somehow got missed in 2023 but WOW! ased in the Midlands, Eryx London are a loud 4-piece band with bags of energy and tunes to boot! The ferocious lead- singer, Eryx Ward delivers snarl and growls over an onslaught of cathartic noise. This is churning feminist anger at its finest. | 0:14:36 (Pop-up) | ||||

2022 |
Vibraphonist, marimbist, improviser and composer Patricia Brennan “has been widely feted as one of the instrument’s newer leaders.” observed The New York City Jazz Record. She inherited a deep love and appreciation for musical tradition from both parents, as well as being exposed to the musical richness of her native Port of Veracruz. She started studying music at 4 years old, playing latin percussion along salsa records with her father and listening to Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin records with her mother. Also, around the same age, she started playing piano, influenced by her grandmother who was a concert pianist. She is appearing as part of the Women From Space festival in Toronto, which kicks off today! |

Magic Mothers
|
Magic Mothers | Self Released (Bandcamp) | 2024 | "Any reasonably knowledgeable fan of post-punk will likely recognise the name Una Baines. //// A founder of both The Fall and Blue Orchids, Una's influence in the development of both bands is a matter of historical fact . . . so much so that people scarcely realise how few recordings she's actually made - a solitary 7" with The Fall, one LP and a few singles by Blue Orchids, and that's it, barring her most recent recording, The Fates' obscure album "Furia", itself released nearly forty years ago on a tiny one-off label until its excavation a few years back on the Finders Keepers label. //// Una's spent much of the last four decades working in community organising, raising a family, and functioning as a symbolic godmother to many Mancunian artists and musicians who cite her as an aspiration and mentor. //// Her band Poppycock has undergone several line-up changes between their sporadic - almost exclusively local - live appearances. //// Una has never been shy in describing her personal ideals and artistic expression in terms of feminism - even if the term was occasionally derided by other (sometimes even female) artists in the punk era." | * | 0:27:43 (Pop-up) | |||

| Ruby Karinto |
Fox's Wedding
|
Ruby Karinto | Hozac Records | 2018 | With half of the tracks sung in Japanese and half in English, Victoria BC's Ruby Karinto are the hypnotic post-punk band that mastered the details, yet didn’t forget how to dance, and their long-form workouts echo ESG, Delta 5, and the bass-driven strain of No Wave’s best early 80s entries... it’s a sensory assault from all angles and it’s just the perfectly refreshing blast of No Wave art-pop you’ve been waiting for. I freaking love this band. | 0:51:58 (Pop-up) | ||||
| Bonies |
Mommy
|
ME-EP | Leisure World Tapes | 2023 | Bonies are "top tier amateur new wave" from Durham, NC. BONIES aren’t trying their hand at recreating slick, radio-saturated (but still punk-accepted) new wave influences, but rather the scrappier, more genuinely oddball sounds that existed further underground in the new wave era. It’s all presented through a decidedly modern lens, though....but definitely a must listen for fans of NOTS, Pylon, Essential Logic and Suburban Lawns. | 0:55:01 (Pop-up) | ||||

| KONE |
A Persistent Sense of Dread
|
KONE ONE | Divine Schism | 2023 | Oxford, UK's KONE make art music for guitars. The three members write collectively for guitars, voice and drums, treating each instrument equally. Their songs are sparse, heavy and dance-like - built from shifting, interlocking patterns. The dialogue between instruments and voices in their songs creates unusual shapes and spaces that invite you to climb into their world... | 1:01:31 (Pop-up) | ||||

Liberty Seeds | Cloud Recordings | 2006 | A band that was truly ahead of its time.... Based in Athens, GA, experimental post-punk group the New Sound of Numbers was a project led by visual artist and percussionist Hannah Jones, a member of Circulatory System and the Instruments. It was essentially a one-woman band, but Jones, working largely at home, recorded the debut album Liberty Seeds with help from Heather McIntosh (of the Instruments, Elf Power, and Japancakes), John Fernandes (of the Olivia Tremor Control, Circulatory System, Elf Power, and Dark Meat), Will Cullen Hart (of the Olivia Tremor Control and Circulatory System), and Bill Doss (of the Olivia Tremor Control and the Sunshine Fix). | 1:33:49 (Pop-up) | ||||

| Sababa 5 ft. Yaara Shaulian |
Dreams of Love
|
Dreams of Love Single | Batov Records | 2024 | singer Yaara Shaulian. This oriental pop ballad, with a smooth six-eight rhythm, tells a story of distant love and longing. Sababa 5 creates a captivating musical atmosphere with strong and dramatic music led by powerful synth lines from Eitan Drabkin. Yaara's gentle vocals gracefully float above, resulting in a beautiful blend of strength and delicacy. Together, they craft a musical journey that not only sounds good but also touches the heart and soul. | * | 1:40:47 (Pop-up) | |||

Cherry Cheeks | Total Punk | 2021 | Thank-you, Total Punk Records for this LP for our marathon giveaway... possibly yours (draw to be held);$20 (minimum) donation -- Total Punk have this to say... "Cherry Cheeks is the work of fellow Orlando resident (recently relocated to Portland) Kyle Harms. Started in early 2020, CHERRY CHEEKS was born out of countless hours stuck in front of a computer screen with a raging pandemic outside. Kyle put his boredom, boiling over anger, and frustration to work and started a new project. He put out a few bandcamp EPS and limited run tapes that a mutual friend back home turned me onto. He also informed me that there was even better stuff that hadn't yet been released. I hit Kyle up, he sent me a few tracks, and boy was my friend right. EGG PUNK, DEVO-CORE, QUARANTINE PUNK.. whatever the kids are calling it these days this is 12 tracks of bass driven, pop stained, punk agitation. I'm very proud of this record and am ecstatic to say it is indeed 100% TOTAL PUNK!!!! --- released September 21, 2021" ///// CLICK THIS LINK TO DONATE TO WFMU (via Transmissions From Echo Beach) | 1:49:49 (Pop-up) | ||||

Are You Looking For Me?

Blueprint For A Sunrise | Chimera Music | 2001 | Blueprint for a Sunrise is a 2001 concept album of experimental feminist rock by Yoko Ono. It features live tracks, samples and remixes of previous recordings, and a sequel. The recurring theme throughout is the suffering of women. In the liner notes, Ono talks about the continuing relevance of feminism and "waking up in the middle of the night hearing thousands of women screaming". Newly released last month to streaming services, let's hope that it reaches more ears.... | 1:57:20 (Pop-up) | ||||
