After a lovely WDET Travel journey to Switzerland, I’m back in the fold and dropping new stuff from Nilufer Yanya, Julian Lage, Kokoroko, GOAT, Las Palabras & Angélica Garcia, plus lots more new discovery. Also had to put an artist spotlight on IDLES and their fantastic album from earlier this year, Tangk. I can’t stop listening to this more gentle take on post-punk from the group — definitely their best album yet. And it’s always a pleasure to play a jazz epic from Jeff Parker as he gets ready to release a new album later this year on International Anthem (I’ll be spotlighting this label later on this month).

Check the playlist below and listen to the episode for two weeks after it airs using the player above.
