On this week’s show: Lots of lead singles from upcoming albums from longtime CPS faves, incl the SF jangle of Chime School, percolating LA pop of Dummy and off-center indie rock of Montreal’s Feeling Figures. Plus fresh indie from Mexico (Mint Field, Supersilverhaze), Sweden (Kerosene Kream), Germany (mantarochen), Belgium (Good Mornin’ Champ!), Australia (Restless Leg) and the UK (Steak Blake, Ulrika Spacek, Goodbye Wudaokou).
