Maia, BTRtoday

Oo today's show you'll hear a track from the brand new Bon Iver record, along with songs from the new albums of Melaena Cadiz, Dollys, Mo Kenney, Whitney, and many more.

It’s been a minute since we’ve checked in with Brooklyn rock band Heliotropes. Principal songwriter/singer Jessica Numsuwankijkul has completely revamped the project, returning with all new faces, a new album, and a leaner, more focused sound. Things still get pretty heavy, but whereas in the past it seemed like the influence of metal -- particularly of the Seventies style -- loomed large over the band, with their latest full length there’s a whole lot more pop sweetness and psych vibes. The band stopped by Serious Business Music in DUMBO to give us a live taste of it.

Over There That Way by Heliotropes is available now.

Breanna Barbara is a Brooklyn-based musician, but don’t let the geography throw you -- her music is steeped in southern/blues rock traditions, as seen through the sweat-drenched eyes of New York City. Howling, yelping, and rockin’ with a furious intensity -- even at slower tempos, like a psychedelic waltz -- Barbara is fast becoming a force to reckon with in the local scene.

Mirage Dreams by Breanna Barbara is available now.

Today's show features new music from Angel Olsen along with favorites from First Aid Kit, Joanna Newsom, Filthybird, and many more!

Corbu is a psych-electronic band from New York. The band has a flair for the dramatic, with mesmerizing lights and an airy vibe that blends live instruments with electronics and effects to create an otherworldly atmosphere akin to the likes of Radiohead, M83, and -- yes -- Air. The band stopped in prior to hitting the road with Bloc Party to turn the live room at Serious Business Music into their own cosmic world of sound.

Corbu’s debut album, Crayon Soul, is available now.

Tank & The Bangas is a soul/hip-hop/rock band blasting forth from New Orleans and overflowing with spirit and energy. Led by poet/vocalist Tarriona “Tank” Ball and rounded out by a tight band of musicians and backing vocalists, The Bangas is a huge force to reckon with. Bringing a bit of a musical hodgepodge to the table, their style jumps from genre to genre, pulling in the fury of a gospel tent and the creativity of a poetry slam, you’ll be pulled in immediately. The whole band crammed into the live room at Serious Business Music in DUMBO to rock this one for us.

The Big Bang Theory: Live at Gasa Gasa Is available now.

Today's show features music from Lia Ices, Villagers, Cass McCombs, and many more.

EZTV play easy, breezy pop -- like, seriously catchy, smooth pop. At times it’s so fragile that it feels as if it could fall apart, but these three Brooklyn guys are so good that it just coasts along. And it’s not hard to understand why they’ve been so busy lately, with an ever-ascending profile locally and internationally.

High In Place by EZTV is available now.

Gringo Star is the Atlanta-based punky psych-rock outfit you know and love -- or, at least, should get to know and love! They deal in reverb and feedback and draw on the best of pop, garage, and rock, twisting it into their own warped sounds. Get crazy with them in this session, recorded at Serious Business Music in DUMBO.

The Sides And In Between by Gringo Star is available now.

On today's show we feature new music from Haley Bonar, Ages and Ages, Ryley Walker, and Angel Olsen.
