DIY Radio: Into The Blogosphere (7th November 2011)

We’ve a suitably spooky feel to this week’s ‘Into the Blogosphere’, what with many artists cannily releasing Halloween-related tracks in the past two weeks. Glass Candy lead the way with their superb preview of a forthcoming return album, but the more remarkable of the past fortnight’s material comes from the more upbeat and ravishing arrivals of Field Music, Crystal Stilts and GRMLN.

In amongst a lovely balance between the creepy and the ragged garage rock are a few incredible efforts from Keep Shelly In Athens, Rostam and Vinyl Williams. If you’re into skipping through these DIY shows – note: this is generally regarded as a sin – make sure you earmark those tracks. And our album of the fortnight comes in the form of BLOUSE’s debut; a terrific work of nostalgic indulgence, all enveloped in a striking, dated style of production. Enjoy these next two hours because you’re bound to find at least a few gems suited to your taste.
