This month Slack City host Nick Roseblade (Signal to Noise) is joined by Angela Seo (Xiu Xiu) where we discuss the 2005 Soul Jazz Records compilation ‘Soul Gospel. Hands up this was one of the most fun shows to record. Angela was so gracious with her time and knowledge, throughout. To hear why this is a glorious album, and it is, what its like to work in Parks and Rec, why San Fransisco feels like a teenage oasis of culture and which flavour of Takis we love, press play now…

A look into Shoegaze, Dreampop, Post Rock and all sorts of dreamy sounds from around the world with added ramblings in a weird hybrid accent. [Listen live on Slack City - fortnightly on Sundays at 9pm]

The Saturday just gone was Record Store day. The first one for Family Store records and gallery. So we had a couple of instores and they got recorded. We have a few tracks to play on the show today. A few from the excellent Hollow Hand and then the whole damn set from the also excellent Grazia. There are also a couple of new tracks and stuff like that. You should obviously, give it a listen.
