Following the departure of Chris Walla, guitarist Dave Depper joined Death Cab for Cutie to help fill out their roster. It’s a role he continues in today, but prior to joining the band he also put out a number of solo records under his own name. He’s got a new one coming out on June 9th, and you can stream a track from it below. GEMS continue their project to release a new song on every full moon in 2017, and something about the title “Poison” feels strangely familiar. Then there’s Foxygen’s Jonathan Rado doing his best cover of the Bruce Springsteen classic “Thunder Road”. Grab another taste of the forthcoming Mac DeMarco record with “On the Level” in this set. Get your psychedelic folk on with the latest from Woods as well. Other tracks in this set come from Flasher, Foodman, Peaking Lights, Shay Lia, Slackk, a Four Tet remix of The xx, and more!
