The latest WFMO X Music Savage Show “Song of the Week” spotlight is focused once again on Gothenburg, Sweden and is aimed on the dance-tastic new single, “Lover Chanting,” from Little Dragon. It’s the first single and title-track from the Swedish quartet’s first ever EP and their first release with the iconic label Ninja Tune. Little Dragon formed in 1996 but did not release any music until a decade later in 2006. They made a huge splash in the electronic music scene with their double A-side 7? single, “Twice”/”Test,” which was followed a year later by their self-titled debut album. Since…

Photo credit: Brittany O’Brien This week’s WFMO X Music Savage Show “Song of the Week” spotlight shines brightly on the ridiculously awesome song “Lie Lie Lie” from Los Angeles quartet Sure Sure. It’s their first new music since the release of the band’s excellent, self-titled debut album on January 12th, 2018. Sure Sure are Chris Beachy (keyboardist, singer), Charlie Glick (guitarist, singer), Kevin Farzad (drums, percussion) and Michael Coleman (producer/percussion/bass). They released their debut EP, Songs from 2014, in 2016 and quickly found an audience thanks to super catchy lyrics and immensely poppy hooks. The new track, “Lie Lie Lie,”…

The WFMO X Music Savage Show “Song of the Week” spotlight is brightly focused on the killer new single, “Hanging In,” off the upcoming album, The More I Sleep The Less I Dream, from Edinburgh’s We Were Promised Jetpacks. We have been huge fans of the Scottish band since their outstanding debut album, These Four Walls, was released in 2009.
Since that time it’s been a hectic few years of writing, recording and touring for the band. With 2011’s In the Pit of the Stomach and 2014’s Unravelling the guys have traveled the world numerous times over, growing their fan-base exponentially in every country they visited. That kind of non-stop schedule would take a toll on anybody! They returned home to reconnect with family and focus on writing the new record, which will be self-released on September 14th.
We Were Promised Jetpack are Adam Thompson (vocals/guitar), Michael Palmer (guitar), Sean Smith (bass) and Darren Lackie (drums), and as I have said many, many times here on the site…these guys are a force to be reckoned with live! We are very fortunate here in Boston because they frequent our city on a regular basis and will return once again on Friday, October 26th for a stop at Brighton Music Hall.
One word. GO!
