In this week’s show on WDET, we featured the first new music from Echo & The Bunnymen in 12 years, and it’s catchy! We also played a new single from the Australian shoegaze/dreampop duo Grazer, music from She’s Green’s newly released album, “swallowtail,” and the London-based dreampop duo Atmos Bloom.

We also took that Stefano Guzzetti song, Northern Sky, for another spin. I love the This Mortal Coil inspiration behind it and can’t wait to hear the whole album. We heard all of this and much, much more, along with your shoegaze, dreampop, and post-punk faves!
