Casey and Shawn in an ice palace

Really really really. If you don’t remember le grand White Hinterland, their last album “Phylactery Factory” came out in 2008 and featured a lot of boring piano-based songs sprinkled with a few gigantic gems (“Napoleon at Waterloo” and “Dreaming of the Plum Trees” are so overly gorgeous that it makes the whole album close to incredible). So histories aside, WH came out with a new album this month: “Kairos”. It’s shockingly better than the last album. Lead singer Casey’s voice is similar to Lykke Li’s, and the music is a crystalline ice palace of electronic beats and Casey singing like bird-meets-wind.

“Revenge” by The Rollercoaster Project is currently my song of the week. Why? It’s a five-minute long Fuck Buttons-esque trailing piano driven atmospheric song with beautiful screaming. No really, beautiful, and I never though I’d say that about calls from the underground. You can listen to the track at Lala and then please tell me what you think. It’s good for concentrating on things that are far away, I think.

A warning is in store for those of you who have warmed up to some new shows this quarter: it is finals week here at UCSC, so many of your favorite programmers may be taking of for winter break! What’s that mean? It means listen in this week to say your goodbyes, and for the weeks to come expect the old shows with a twist: new DJs! It’s pretty exciting to see how themes change when someone else takes over. Expect the unexpected, love the twisted new changes. If you’re feeling very into the holiday mood, remember: KZSC’s second webstream is playing nonstop holiday music!

All the best in finals and holiday travels!
