Looks like the new year is fully underway, and we’ve got a raft, nay, an aircraft carrier full of new tunes freshly or recently released, and we’re gonna celebrate them. Headliners this week include Cosmopaark (reviewed here), YEAHRS, and Sydney’s Trillion (pictured above). Each of these has unleashed a new album, and each approach the sonic summit differently, but no less capably. Each deserves consideration on your shopping list, we’ll tease out tracks from each. But there’s a lot to unearth this weekend: the stellar new single from Sparkler, Laveda, Softcult, Bedridden, stillfilms, Bo Milli, Flyying Colours, Highnoon and speakerhug. But we’re diving even deeper, rolling out new and breaking sounds from Bleary Eyed, sylvia, Pale Shade, Pamplemousse, airhockey, Creature in the Spiral, Dosser, everyone but me, Gae Vinci, A Very Special Episode, Moody Moody, Los Marcianos, Narrow Head, The Leontini Vernacular, surfgoth, Meena, Orchid Mantis, Pienamente, Tourist Activities, Mirelight, TTSSFU, saturdays at your place, The Day, WYCHWOOD, Tombouctou, and much more. Told you, it’s a lot.
And that’s in addition to last weekend’s fresh sonic injections, including glitterspitter, Catharsis, Lavndear, crushed, As Above, Megumi Acorda, The Ends, Waves Crashing, The Starlit Hues, Juke The Tiger, Tape Runs Out, Keep, Stomp Talk Modstone, The Silent Era, Oceans, Un.Real, Kaery Ann, Vicegrip, M83, OutControlJoys, Fauvely, Seven Hour Days, Found Space, Redbud, baan, CHIVVY, Darksoft and more. We can’t fit any more!

It’s the first weekend we’ll spin some of these tracks, and may be the last weekend for some others.
