SOTD #745 – Croque Madame
As summer winds down and the weather begins to chill, Croque Madame give us one last trip to the coast, the lake, the river, or even the local pool. We have no information about this band or who they are, reminiscent of Stereolab, Stereo Total, April March, and the Lucksmiths all at once, yet not […]
SOTD #739 – Hologram Teen

Song of the day – 252: The Konki Duet
Splatter paint art. Elegant yet awkward. Playful. Trance-like
Song of the day – 213: La Mômo
Worthing’s answer to the delicate, frayed English pop of Robert Wyatt – only shaken up and down, given a good stomping and bashed about gleefully
