New Music Show Preview: The Jayhawks, Corinne Bailey Rae & more!
This Monday night at 8pm our New Music Show is back on the air with some standout new tunes! It’s a welcome return for some classic XPN artists, plus we debut a bunch of new bands that we think you’ll enjoy quite a bit! Here’s a little taste of what’s to come.
“Quiet Corners and Empty Spaces” by THE JAYHAWKS
For a long time the music of The Jayhawks has had a place in our hearts and on our airwaves here at WXPN. We’re excited that their new record, Paging Mr. Proust, is a continuation of what we love about the band: their unmistakable vocal bliss and wonderful storytelling. Here’s a version of their brand new song “Quiet Corners and Empty Spaces” that they recorded for the World Café
“Drinkee” by SOFI TUKKER
Here’s our wild card for the week. A hypnotic tune by the New York duo Sofi Tukker. Sofi is Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tukker is Tucker Halpern. The two have only released two songs, but this one (“Drinkee”) has the chance to be stuck in your head for days! Enjoy:
“Been to the Moon” by CORINNE BAILEY RAE
Since we first “turned our records on” to Corinne Bailey Rae we’ve been hooked. The darling British singer-songwriter is as engaging as they come, and we’re pleased to have a new song to spin for you Monday night. It’s the first from a new album The Heart Speaks In Whispers, that comes out May 13th.
