This is Not 97 like never before featuring our first official guest host Cady Drell (Rolling Stone, Newsweek, Glamour, etc.) alongside her close friend Stacey Anderson, who is a senior editor at Pitchfork and has years of experience writing for the New York Times, Rolling Stone, and more. 

Stacey introduces "The River," a menacing, bold stand-out from London-based Lolina's debut project "The Smoke." After discovering them in a local alt-weekly on a cross-country roadtrip, Cady brings Albuquerque's Prism Bitch to the table, a band far too good to be far too unknown. 

Toronto's Jaunt flaunts their boundless sound on "Faster Interactions." And Keyah/Blu floats on the laid back loosey "paper trip v1."
