On this week’s show: A sunny start to the show, with pure California pop (Lunchbox), then jangle from Germany (theCatherines), the UK (Holiday Ghosts, Autocamper) and the USA (Linda Smith). Shoegaze from Boston (Magic Shoppe) to Tokyo (re:lapse), and spaced-out bliss from Seattle (somesurprises). Plus more Aussie indie rock (Drunk Mums, S:Bahn), quavering UK garage-pop from vintage (Twelve Cubic Feet) to modern (The Pheromoans), and more fizzy jangle from the Sarah Records alumni crew (Jetstream Pony).
