There's some great stuff on this new podcast. Nineteen songs in all, I lead off with one of the best tunes I've heard a LONG time. It's from a band called "Elizabeth & The Catapult", who are releasing their debut album via Verve Forecast on June 9. Expect to see a review of full album on UR in the very near future. There's great new dancey music from forthcoming records from Lonely Dear and YACHT, as well as newcomers Marina & The Diamonds, VEGA and Jupiter. We're lucky to have a cool new demo tune from Light FM, who used to be based in Chicago a few years back and now reside in LA, as well as tracks from current Chicago residents Bengal Lancer and Holding Mercury. Plenty more to discover as well! Download the podcast below. We'll be back next month.
