The Alabama Shakes "American Dream" questions whether it's become the impossible dream
KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977.

TikTok's unofficial queen, Faye Webster, steps out IRL to hit KCRW with her signature sonic style — indie-roots-hip-hop-r&b as filtered through her amusing way with words. Webster (lead vocals, guitar, pianette) and the rest of her band Noor Khan (bass, backing vocals), Matthew "Pistol" Stoessel (pedal steel, guitar), Annie Leeth (keys, sax, violin), and Charles Garner (drums, backing vocals) are dropping a jam-packed set of highlights from the freshly released LP Underdressed at theSymphony including “Wanna Quit All the Time” and “Thinking About You.” Plus, back-catalog sensations like “In a Good Way.” Plus, she tells Novena about her “eBay Purchase History,” which includes the life-size Minion statue currently guarding the entrance way to her home.
