Don’t @ us, but we’re playing favorites today. Dig in for classic Tame Impala, and Mia Doi Todd alongside newer tracks from some of KCRW’s most esteemed.

Today’s Top Tune comes courtesy of Glasgow’s Young Fathers, a band we’ve been on about since they released their 2014 breakthrough single “Get Up.” We’re also wading deeper into Cuco’s widely acclaimed new album “Fantasy Gateway.” Turns out, it’s more and more satisfying the further in you go. Listen close for something very special with Cuco coming your way soon…

We also want to send you to check out our pals Wajatta at Highland Park’s Lodge Room alongside local band we love, GOON, who are celebrating their latest album release at one of the best venues in town. It’s all happening on Friday, September 2nd, and you can enter for your chance at tickets here.
