The week Big Sonic Heaven was full of new music out of the UK. From London, we heard a brand-new single from Night Tapes, new shoegaze from Velveteen, and sadplanet. We also heard indie dreampop band Swim Deep out of Birmingham and British shoegaze four-piece bdrmm. 

Back over on this side of the pond, we featured Milwaukee-based band SSAANN and our very own Bluhm out of Detroit.

Plus, we also heard some of your favorite shoegaze, dreampop, and post-punk classics.
