On this week’s show: Welcome returns from purveyors of Canadian pop (Kiwi jr) and heartland punk (Sweeping Promises), each with new singles from just-announced LPs. Crunchy Aussie indie rock (Big League) and atmospheric synth-scapes (Prophetic Justice Ministry). New NZ indie (Das Phaedrus) and a stripped-down, pre-Xpressway musical snapshot (Stephen Cogle w/Peter Stapleton). More Canadian indie, from minimal (Mossy Place) to maximally indie rock (Cable TV). Plus a UK punk elder (Vic Godard) helps provide a musical ending for a longtime Scottish label.
