Indie 102.3 Sessions

The folk-soul duo Overcoats, comprised of JJ Mitchell and Hana Elion, have experienced plenty in the three years since their debut release, and all of that struggle and wisdom has found its way into their new crop of songs.

Colfax Speed Queen is ready to make 2020 their year filled with new music and a ton of live performances.

Angel Olsen has had a spectacular 2019. Her new album All Mirrors has made it to several "Best of" lists. " The entire album is chock full of vulnerable moments and dramatic storytelling: "Was I becoming what I had to be? Was that the truth I was supposed to see?" Olsen questions on track "Summer". All Mirrors tackles feelings of hopefulness, loneliness, and love lost and found again.

After a relocation from Ecuador to Denver a year ago, Neoma has performed at the Underground Music Showcase and captivated audiences all over the city. Hypnotic doesn't begin to describe Neoma's sound -- soothing synths, simplistic beats, and angelic voice of frontwoman Carla Huiracocha.

Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst have made music as Shovels & Rope for more than a decade. The South Carolina married duo's sound is rooted in classic Americana and country-folk. They add some fuzzed-out guitars and driving rock rhythms to the mix on their new album By Blood. Shovels & Rope stopped into our studio before a show at Denver's Ogden Theatre. The band played some music from the new album and chatted with Jeremy Petersen.

Jeff Cormack has been the bandleader of South of France since 2012. The Denver musician/producer and his rotating cast of musicians are preparing to release the band's sophomore album, Remember That Cool Thing We Did, later this year via Dualtone Records. We got a sneak preview of the record when South of France came into our studio for a performance and interview with Alisha Sweeney.

Psychedelic Porn Crumpets released the new album And Now For The Whatchamacallit earlier this year. The quartet from Perth, Australia, has been building up a big fan base overseas thanks to their blistering garage rock and unruly live shows. The band stopped into our studio to play a few songs from the new record and chat with Alisha Sweeney.

The Burroughs are a nine-piece band from Greeley with a dynamic soul-rock sound. The band's uptempo rhythms, potent horn section and vocal harmonies were on full display when they performed some songs from the albums Got To Feel and Forever In Love in our studio. They also spoke with host Alisha Sweeney.

As frontman of Camper Van Beethoven, David Lowery became a forefather of indie rock in the 1980s. He also leads the popular alternative rock band Cracker and has produced records by Sparklehorse and Counting Crows. This year Lowery released the autobiographical solo album In The Shadow of the Bull. He stopped by to play a few songs from that record along with a Cracker song, and spoke with Alisha Sweeney.

Jay Cobb Anderson is new to Denver but a well-established musician. He's a co-founder of Portland folk-rock band Fruition and also plays in TK & The Holy Know-Nothings. Anderson -- one of our Local 303 artists this month -- just released the new solo EP Everything Is Gonna Work Its Own Self Out. He recently stopped into our studio to play some songs from that record and chat with Bruce Trujillo.
