Tasjan! Tasjan!, due 2/5/21 Early: WRLT, KCSN, WEHM, KJAC, WJCU, KPIG, KTAO, KRML “‘Up All Night’ is half party anthem, half cautionary tale.

Big feature in The New Yorker: “Lenker writes often about time and loss—how to cling to what we need and let go of everything else.

Sometimes we say “I love you, I want to be with you” but maybe we really mean “I don’t like me, I don’t want to be with myself and you can help distract me from me.” - Ron Romy “Lifetime” From the solo record from Romy Madley Croft of The xx JBE Public 41* New: KINK, WXRY ON: WXRV, WFUV, KCMP, Music Choice, WFPK, KTBG, KVOQ, WYMS, WNCS, KJAC, KVNA, WAPS, WCNR, KVYN, WZEW, KYMK, WCLX, WYCE, KCLC...

When the pandemic prevented Boston-based indie/roots band Dispatch from releasing their latest album in May, like they’d originally planned, they took the opportunity to revisit the songs and rethink the way in which they would be released. As a result, the band will put out that album (title TBD) in a series of phases, three songs in each, starting with Phase 1 on October 23 (available now). The final phase will come out in 2021.
