Technicolour Dreaming

On this, the third-to-last show of 2014, our choice for “Band of the Week” was Denmark’s Halasan Bazar, who regular listeners will recognise from previous shows – we do play them a lot, but for good reason – just listen to their music and you’ll surely become a fan! We first discovered them though through their collaboration with France’s Tara King th. – another Cat & Brat fave – on the “8” album, released through their common  label, California’s Moon Glyph Records, and worked back from there to their earlier releases – great stuff! During the rest of the programme, we did play a few new releases, such as tracks from Ty Segall’s “$ingle$ 2” anthology and Los Trasgos Muertos’ new EP, but the bulk of the show featured some of our faves of this year, such as Balduin, les Limiñanas, the Chemistry Set and Southern Boutique, as well as a number of older releases which we discovered [or rediscovered] this year, such as Slight, the Rain Parade and Morgen. It’s been a great year for psychedelia and we look forward to the next two shows, when we’ll feature our picks for “best LP/single/band/etc of 2014” amongst all our other favourites of the year [and beyond!]! It should be fun, so tune in to 3D Radio and join us.....
