On the show this week: From New Zealand: new lo-fi indie (Cuticles) and an 80s-vintage lost gem (Vibraslaps). Shades of punk from Germany (Berliner Doom), Australia (Gyrate), and the USA (Hard Copy, CHERRY CHEEKS). Shimmering and crashing pop from Japan (kinoue64) to LA (Cupid & Psyche), jangle from NYC (The Woods) and SF (HELPFUL PEOPLE) to the UK (Ruth’s Refrigerator), and an orchestral Scottish pop blast from the past (Starless / Friends Again).
