On this week’s show: German drone pop (the bv’s), Norwegian indie rock (Podcasts), Australian jangle (Even As We Speak) and Scottish dream pop (Joe McAlinden). American indie, from Bay Area shoegaze (Fortunes Favor) and lo-fi pop (Famous Mammals) to pure pop from Boston (Kid Gulliver) and Columbus, OH (Smug Brothers). Plus a fresh take on a classic tune from Pacific Northwest singer-songwriter treasure Lois (Maffeo).
