Tonight I featured the new trentemøller single from the upcoming album out this November. I also played a couple of shimmering new singles from Crystal Canyon and Alison’s Halo, as well as a reimagining of a Twin Peaks classic from Tokyo-based POiSON GiRL FRiEND. 

Plus, we heard the very dreamy new single from Kate de Rosset, and much more. We also spun the 60’s girl-group-inspired Sing-Sing, the 90’s group made up of friends Emma Anderson and Lisa O’Neil, who are reissuing their debut album after 25+ years with a new single and artwork designed by Chris Bigg. And, of course, our weekly dose of shoegaze, dream-pop, and post-punk classics!
