Iain and Andrew have a date with the Night (Caller) on the latest instalment of @weheardwonders pod. Danny from Leith gutter-pop lotharios Night Caller joins us to chat Grease, break-ups, cats and the group’s devilishly catchy debut single and EP. Danny also picks and plays five slickly-produced, thematically-linked tracks. Iain and Andrew review fresh tunes from hard-rock heavyweights Queens Of The Stone Age, brand-new-retro soulsters Bobby Harden & The Soulful Saints and Mali’s “first female solo electric guitar player” Fatoumata Diawara. All this, plus a live report from this year’s Liverpool-hosted Eurovision Song Contest courtesy of friend of the pod Matthew Keeley from The Traidar Podcast.

On this week’s @weheardwonders, Andrew and Iain - especially fanboy Iain - are buzzing to be joined by Michael M Physics, offa purveyors of “fast existentialist nerd rock for people who like sighing but also fighting” Slime City, We Are The Physics and Twitter. Topics up for discussion include Slime City’s highly entertaining new record Slime City Death Club, manifestos, mangling pop’s past, and eye-popping encounters with Art Brut and Jared Leto’s Thirty Seconds To Mars, while Michael selects some ace tracks that are important to him. Iain also can’t resist taking Michael down memory lane and revealing why it’s all Michael’s fault that he plays music. On top of this, Andrew and Iain review new tunes from BC Camplight and Modern Cosmology.

A GROOVY selection of tracks on this week’s @weheardwonders - either groovy in the “this’ll get you outta your seat, get you moving” kind of way, or groovy in the hip, sixties-inspired sense of the word. Following the triumphant What’s Your Pleasure?, Jessie Ware’s new record finds her in disco-diva mode once more - but is she still capable of transforming the most modest of kitchen discos into an opulent party palace? Why does Nabihah Iqbal’s post-punk/new-wave leave Iain feeling so nostalgic? Wirral-upstarts The Dream Machine make us feel very old - is this a good or a bad thing? Should psych-chanteuse Isolde Lasoen be hired to do the next Bond theme? And has closet botanist Rudy De Anda been cultivating his talent since his 2020 debut? So many questions, and the answers can be found within! Finally, a masterclass in modern leftfield pop has the Vinyl Word.

This week’s selections give Andrew and Iain even more of an opportunity than usual to flex their analytical muscles with not one, not two, but THREE published poets among the artists up for discussion. We dive into the hotly-anticipated and hot-off-the-press new track from PJ Harvey, the meaty debut album by former U.S. National Youth Poet Laureate Kara Jackson, and a wonderful collaboration between Constant Follower, Scott William Urquhart and Scottish titan Norman MacCaig. Also, Durand Jones steps out on his own without his Indications, and Spencer Cullum’s Coin Collection splits the panel. Something sassy and psicodélic has the Vinyl Word.

At the third time of asking, a new precious @weheardwonders pod is here! It’s yours, take it! New music by graveyard-dwelling Sub Popper Lael Neale and your favourite singer-songwriter’s favourite producer & singer-songwriter in his own right Jonathan Wilson is put under the miscoscope. Plus, we ride the lightning: Iain - his devil-horns-aloft - tells Metallica-neophyte Andrew what he finds so deathly magnetic about the legendary metal survivors and we share our thoughts on their eleventh studio offering 72 Seasons. Finally, something eccentric and orchestral and wonderful has the Vinyl Word.

A vast expanse of musical ground is covered on the latest @weheardwonders podcast. Hey, it’s what we do! We move from the sunlit Zimrock of Mokoomba to the mysterious medieval hijinks and levitating bananas of Immaterial Possession; from the latest inspired team-up (this time with El Michels Affair) of hip-hop firebrand Black Thought to producer-extraordinaire James Ellis Ford’s idiosyncratic lurch centre-stage, and the warmly soothing and quietly profound Appalachian trance of Powers / Pulice / Rolin. Andrew discusses his Great Vinyl Migration, Iain freestyles about freestyle, and something swampy and funky has the Vinyl Word.

Iain and Andrew reconvene for more reviews and rambles of a musical persuasion. On this week’s @weheardwonders, you will hear something graceful and tasteful and made with obvious affection from Murray A. Lightburn; Altin Gün are up to their old Anatolian-psych-rock antics; Eddie Chacon’s career resurgence continues apace; progressive-dance producer James Holden finds the cosmic in the communal; and “Goddess of the Harvest” Anona delivers gentle jazz-folk. Go-to motivational tunes are shared, transporting new genres are invented, and something grandiose and miserablist has the Vinyl Word.

There’s a gurry wurry at @weheardwonders headquarters this week! No, Iain and Andrew haven’t come to blows…on the contrary, they’re getting along famously with Dave King, the brains behind ambitious weirdo-pop outfit Gurry Wurry. We discuss new album Not As Bad As It Sounds, home recording, the joy of a sad song, and play some of Dave’s inspired and eclectic musical selections. We also spin and review hefty new offerings from contemporary folk doomsters Lankum and the increasingly iconic Lana Del Rey. Sounds good, right!

Hear thee! Hear thee! It’s another episode of We Heard Wonders-ee! Yep, @weheardwonders are back with five smoking hot new platters to revolve and review: the bad-trip psychedelia of Ulrika Spacek; the impossible-to-ignore rave ramblings of Clark’s Town Crank; the diaphanous dream-psych of Death and Vanilla; the post-genre posturing of Yves Tumor; and the satisfyingly versatile soul stylings of Baby Rose. We give our thoughts on Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras’ concept and a perfect jazz-inflected soul LP has the Vinyl Word.
