On the show this time, it’s the mesmerizing post-punk shoe-gaze of Brooklyn band DIIV.

DIIV is a heavy, thinking-person’s rock band formed by Zachary Cole Smith in Brooklyn NY back in 2011. They released 3 albums on Captured Tracks and survived member changes, stints in rehab, almost calling it quits, and a reorganization to a more democratic structure to get to this point. They have released a new full-length album, 'Frog In Boiling Water,' which is available on Fantasy Records.

DIIV

On the show this time, flip that indie pop on its head, with the music of Camera Obscura.

Camera Obscura is an indie Scottish band from Glasgow.  They’ve been making music together since 1996, though they took some time away from the band following keyboardist Carey Lander’s illness and eventual death from cancer. They reunited in 2018, to play a festival -cruise show - the Boaty Weekender - with fellow Glaswegians Belle & Sebastian.  A few years later, they announced some new music and a tour, and their latest album Look to the East, Look to the West is available on Merge Records.
