The Sunday Escape returns for another trip through the best of the week’s new music, carefully curated by Paul and Carolyn (together with whatever other records they’ve been listening to). For new stuff, it’s another fairly muted week for new albums with only Bar Italia’s debut looking like a contender for album of the week. There are loads of new singles though, with brand new tracks from Spoon, binki, Sparks, Lande Hekt, Girl Ray, WITCH, Andrew Hung, and Dream Wife, to name but a few. Along with all that, David Costello, the Irish Consul General, will be joining the Pop Fugitives in the studio to choose a few records (and hopefully bring O biscuits and maybe even crisps). There’s coverage of the long-awaited reissue of a classic indie pop album from Heavenly, there’ll be a rather unusual cover of a rap song with all the rap taken out, and Veruca Salt sweeps the nation. Plus the usual chat, a new Super Clever Music Mystery Quiz, and. more!
Paul and Carolyn return for another Sunday Escape, playing their picks of the best of the week’s new music as well as whatever else has been the soundtrack to their weeks. There’s new music from Sofie Royer, Hand Habits, Bright Eyes, Sister Ray, Jenny Lewis, and Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats. And, whilst it’s a bit quieter on the new albums front, the week saw the release of the 10th anniversary reissue of Daft Punk’s final album, complete with new tracks. Sunday is Mother’s Day in Hong Kong, so there ll be at least one song relating to that, plus all the regular features including a cover of a Magnetic Fields song by Tracey Thorn and Jens Lekman, and a track from a Scottish indie-pop band who had limited success back in the mid-80s but are still around today. That’s joined by another Super Clever Music Mystery Quiz and of course better biscuits than last week.
Tune in on Sunday from 9am to 1pm.
On this week’s Sunday Escape there’s brand new music from Baxter Dury, Margaux, Panic Pocket, Jalen Ngonda, and Ethan P. Flynn, plus tracks from the week’s new albums which include new long-players from Baby Rose and The Lemon Twigs. As always, that will all be accompanied by whatever else the Pop Fugitives have in their record bags. Joining the Paul and Carolyn in the studio will be Vince Siu of Press Start Academy, to talk about Games For Change, an event creating social impact through games. There are also all the usual features too, which this week include a country cover version of a classic Bronski Beat track, music from the debut EP of a band who almost made it big but then faded into obscurity and another Super Clever Music Mystery Quiz. Plus the usual chat and possibly (although, not so likely) unusual biscuits!
On this week’s Sunday Escape, there’ll be brand new and occasionally obscure music, including tracks from Palehound, Kevin Morby, PJ Harvey, and Mo Troper, as well as some selections from new albums courtesy of The National, Tiny Ruins, and Indigo De Souza, who will be all vying from the coveted album of the week spot. There’ll be plenty of older tracks too. Joining Paul and Carolyn in the studio will be David Simpson, to talk about “Darkness Into Light”, an event taking place on May 6 to support people impacted by self-harm and suicide. There’ll also be another interesting cover version, this time from Manic Street Preachers, and it’s the turn of an obscure hard rock band, who (almost) released a near-mythical album in 1974, to sweep the nation. That’s all accompanied by another Super Clever Music Mystery Quiz and of course biscuits.
Paul and Carolyn return for another instalment of the Sunday Escape this, which means the latest foray into the best in music. This week that includes new tracks from Conchúr White, bar italia, Miles Kane, Sarah Kinsley, BC Camplight, and CMAT, along with the debut single from The Last Dinner Party plus music from the eagerly awaited new album from Everything But The Girl. There’s also a report from Saturday’s Record Store Day. Joining the Pop Fugitives in the studio is Hong Kong singer-songwriter Joya, who ll be talking about her influences as well as picking a few songs to play. All the usual features return too including another track by a possibly overlooked band, a cover version, a new Super Clever Music Mystery Quiz and of course. reasonable biscuits.
