The Psychedelic Fairy has bestowed upon us the gift of Panda Bear and Sonic Boom’s “Reset” as KCRW’s most played album just ahead of its Aug. 12 release date. This marriage of Sonic Boom’s spacey trills and thrills to Panda Bear’s ongoing exploration of his personal “Pet Sounds” is arriving just in time to make all of your late summer fever dreams come true. KCRW DJs are feeling the heat.
More sweltering selects are on deck in the form of Ela Minus teaming up with DJ Python to tease their forthcoming EP “♡,” and Bien et Toi — the new solo project of LA-based producer Gianluca Buccellati (Arlo Parks) — coming complete with a feature by KCRW favorite Biig Piig… and, of course, Beyoncé.
Get the full rundown, and keep tabs on us over at Spotify!
