KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977.

Visionary UK singer-songwriter/producer Sampha has at long last announced his sophomore LP LAHAI. Having dropped the album’s lead single “Spirit 2.0” — a masterclass in brain-soothing precision — back in June, and his last full length album Process in 2017… This is exciting news indeed. Enjoy “Spirit 2.0” more than usual during today’s MBE, knowing there’s plenty more where that came from on the way. Plus, legendary Australian dreampop band The Church found time amidst their extensive touring to write and record the new single “Realm of Minor Angels.” We’re playing it for you alongside so many more new faves, deep cuts, and stone cold classics.
