Cycles Per Second 10/09/24: Bandcamp, etc. Links

On this week’s show: Shambolic Japanese pop (Usurabi), a winsome British singer-songwriter (Helen McCookerybook), shimmering Swedish sweetness (Alpaca Sports), and the latest from a French-Canadian rock renaissance (THINE RETAIL SIMPS, plastic act). Plus Californian garage-rock (The Okmoniks), Aussie psych-pop (Carpet Burn), jittery French indie (Swirls) and the latest from cheeky pop act Swansea Sound.
