Next week is the pledge drive, meaning all of you should tune in to my show from 10pm to midnight PST on Friday, April 12 and pledge your support for independent radio. For my April 5 show, I returned to playing primarily new tunes, opening with the stellar new track by Sweden's Lars Bygdén, dropping in a pair of tunes by San Francisco post-rock outfit Tartufi, and crossing the pond to Spain for an amazing track by Soledad Vélez. Here in Skagit Valley, we're starting to get some sun, and [...]
photo by Morgen Schuler Much has been made of The Ruby Suns ' globetrotting tendencies, both internationally and musically. American born band founder, Ryan McPhun, left California for New Zealand in the mid '00s and joined Auckland group The Brunettes before forming The Ruby Suns to make blissful, psychedelic multiculturally influenced tropical indie pop. When we first met McPhun back in 2008 , he was performing as duo with Amee Robinson, a former Brunettes bandmate, but he's since changed the band's lineup and sound. In fact, inspiration for his fourth, and latest, album, [...]

photos by Jonathon Bernstein Ruby Suns @ Knitting Factory, 3/2/2013 Q: Can you tell me a little about the new album "Christopher"? A: Breakup, crappiness, tinges of optimism, freedom, lack of employability. Those are just a handful of the themes. The main idea though was to create a totally different record from anything we've done before in terms of lyrics, songwriting and production. ... Q: Sub Pop Records has been so [...]
THIS WEEK'S BEST BET: Alt-J w/ Hundred Waters Wednesday, March 6 Masquerade - 695 North Avenue NE in Atlanta 30308 SOLD OUT! The annual music migration to Austin and SXSW has begun which means there's a crazy amount of quality live music in town this week. It's insane, really.

10 of the Most Underrated Bands of the 21st Century
This week sees the release of a new album by The Veils, who have a special place in our hearts as one of those bands that we absolutely, wholeheartedly believed at one point would be massive . Everyone has a band like this — a band they tipped for greatness, a band that they can't quite believe the world never cottoned onto. And sadly, the best part of a decade later, The Veils remain a band whose charms are appreciated by a select group of fans but have largely evaded the rest of the world. So [...]
Interview: Nitpicking with Pick a Piper.
Brad Weber and I may be estranged from one another by some 3,500-odd miles of land, sea and in-between – on top of five hours' time difference – but we're both quite incontrovertibly lamenting a lack of palpable springtime. We've been robbed of it somewhat, what with Toronto on the receiving end of "a bunch of snow today" and a similarly wan mottling enshrouding London the following afternoon, but where we may bemoan the meteorological tedium of an ongoing winter, something all the more lustrous this way came that week in the luminescent form of an eponymous début from Weber's [...]

The Ruby Suns – Desert of Pop (2013)
Artist: The Ruby Suns Title: Desert of Pop File Name: SoundCloud
On the Horizon: Following the Leader, Pick a Piper.
First and foremost, let's cut the crap and dive right on into the deepest ends of hyperbole by stating that this tangential project from perpetually shoeless Caribou drummer Brad Weber – alliteratively entitled Pick a Piper – is flecked with signs of the lively promise of a reenergised Swim right from the off. An eponymous début 8-track full-length is expected next week (April 2nd) on Mint Records and though that's more than we can as yet divulge, you'll just have to take our word for it being a positively vital contemporary recording for the time being. Akin [...]
