Track Spotlight: Jetman Jet Team. Rainbow Party.
Close on the
heels of their debut full-length, We Will Live the Space Age, Seattle dronegaze
quintet Jetman Jet Team build their output of transcendent psychedelic noise
with Rainbow Party, wonderfully combining the track on YouTube with a fanciful
piece of ‘80s vintage animated video...
Track Spotlight: VibraGun. Dream Disintegrate.
Advance track
in classic dreampop mode from Seattle’s VibraGun bodes well for the band’s
upcoming debut album...
Track Spotlight: Lockets. Surrender (Sun Glitters Remix).
"Surrender"
is the new single from Lockets which will be featured on a forthcoming limited
7" vinyl release via Beautiful Strange. This is the band's first piece of
new music since the release of their debut LP Camera Shy back in
the summer of 2012.

Strange Week in Music: IO Echo & more on the Strangeways Radio Blog.
 |
When The Sun Hits is now contributing to a new weekly blog feature on the Strangeways Radio blog called Strange Week in Music. The full article can be found on the Strangeways blog; WTSH cross posts it only partially, with a link to the full article provided.
Strange Week in Music gives
each Strangeways DJ an opportunity to highlight one track that is
related to his/her show that week; the article will include information,
links, images, a video/stream of the tracks and where they can be
purchased. You can think of it as Strangeways' Week at a Glance.
If
you are new to Strangeways Radio, or are curious about other station
shows aside from WTSH, this weekly feature on the Strangeways blog will
be the perfect introduction. Below is WTSH's contribution.
DJ Amber Crain Selection:
Artist: IO Echo.
Album: Ministry of Love.
Song: When the Lilies Die
RIYL: The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Cocteau Twins
Where To Buy: Amazon
Ministry
of Love is Los Angeles duo Io Echo’s debut album, released in April 2013. The
band was personally selected by Trent Reznor to open for Nine Inch Nails’
last-ever gig and recently composed the score for the Harmony Korine and James
Franco film “Rebel”. The most interesting thing about the duo, however, might
be the media-created genre label “new orientalism” as a description of their
sound. Influences that can be heard: 80′s indie guitar stylings, New Age and
Eastern Asian instrumentation, industrial rhythms, shoegaze textures, and
gothic undertones...

If you are new to Strangeways Radio, or are curious about other station shows aside from WTSH, this weekly feature on the Strangeways blog will be the perfect introduction. Below is WTSH's third contribution.
DJ Amber Crain Selection:
Artist: Purity Ring
Album: Shrines
Song: Lofticries
RIYL:The Knife, Burial, High Places, Bjork, Fever Ray
Where To Buy: Amazon
Purity Ring is the Canadian
electronic music duo of Megan James (vocals) and Corin Roddick (instrumentals).
“Lofticries” is taken from the band’s 2012 debut LP, Shrines, which was
released by 4AD. Purity Ring make lullabies for the club, drawing equally from
airy 90s R&B, lush dream pop, and the powerful, bone-rattling immediacy of
modern hip hop. Megan’s remarkable voice is at once ecstatic and ethereal,
soaring joyfully through Corin’s carefully chopped beats, trembling synths, and
skewed vocal samples...
