Today's Top Tune

New work by Father John Misty always causes a stir here at KCRW so when we got our hands on the latest single, "Mr Tillman," we couldn't wait to share it. Father John Misty aka "Mr. Tillman" has always had a way of painting a picture with every note, and that tradition happily continues on this new track.

At 25, Charlotte Day Wilson has accomplished a lot as a singer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. In the past couple of years she's released a lauded EP, and  toured extensively selling out headlining shows as well as sharing stages with Local Natives and Thundercat - just to name a few. We hear an artist in complete control who doesn't shy away from displaying her vulnerability on "Nothing New."

L.A. disco-not-disco duo De Lux know how to make us dance with a distinct 80’s synth sound, and a stream of consciousness lyrical style. "Keyboards Cause We're Black and White" is an ode to a friend.

Scott McMicken has been co-fronting Dr. Dog for the past decade and a half but that doesn't stop him from feeling like he's "in a totally new band right now." Born from a journey of doubt and discovery, their new work finds them closer and stronger. We feel their revitalized style leaning toward The Beatles, with a speck of Ethiopian jazz sprinkled in on "Go Out Fighting."

With an acoustic new album dropping this week, the duo known as Lucius spent the bulk of 2017 supporting Roger Waters' international tour, and even graced our studios with the legendary Daniel Johnston. Now, they kick off their almost sold-out tour with a 3-night stint at the Largo. Listen to the intimate, “Neighbors.”

Accolades have been pouring in for Rhye's latest album, a collection that oozes with their brand of seductive, soul-pop. Singing over a whisper, front man Milosh epitomizes boudoir anthems that beckon with intimate lyrics. Here's "Feel Your Weight."

Everything But The Girl's Tracey Thorn returns to her dance floor grooves, as she delivers her first solo album with new songs in 7 years. Joined by Warpaint's rhythm section and birthday girl Corrine Bailey Rae on backing vocals - "Sister" is a powerful track.

A brand new album and a 20 date international tour will bring London native Hollie Cook back to our studios in late March. In order to prepare for the session we treat you to "Far From Me".

Classical percussionist Colin Currie has a soft spot for minimalist composer Steve Reich, so he's launching his own label by honoring the master's work. The Colin Currie Group collaborates with Synergy Vocals as they interpret a timeless piece released in 1971, "Drumming: Part 3."

The Boxer Rebellion front man Nathan Nicholson describes the deeply personal song "Love Yourself" this way: "I’ve always enjoyed writing songs that are cathartic, especially when they are able, often accidentally, to provide some form of relief to others. ‘Love Yourself,’ in particular, means a great deal to me because loving yourself, accepting your flaws, and appreciating your best, doesn’t always come easy. It’s good to have a reminder.”
