On this week’s show: Southern hemisphere sounds: contemplative new Aussie tunes (Jen Cloher, Great Earthquake), new New Zealand punk and indie (PRETTY DUMB, Ringlets), plus vintage Dunedin Sound reissued (The Verlaines). American indie from the west coast: Bay Area (Aluminum, Christina’s Trip), Seattle (Spiral XP) and Portland (CUT PIECE). And hey, let’s not forget Delaware (Brother of Monday) and North Carolina (trust blinks). What else? Swiss jangle (The Blue Herons), German synth-punk (Autobahns), and new + reissues from the UK.
