TGIF on MBE - 90's Pop Culture Bracketology with Sam Sanders
KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977.

In this episode of the Morning Becomes Eclectic Podcast, you’ll find in-studio highlights from a trio of artists with distinct sounds.
Starting with U.K. post-punk rockers The Horrors, we’ll hear a few songs from their new album that really grabbed our attention. These singles set the precedent for their revamped and upbeat sound that round out their latest release, Luminous.
Coming up next we’ve got a few songs from Scott Hansen who is the multi-talented artist better known as Tycho. Aside from being an accomplished graphic designer, Hansen has steadily been making great ambient and downtempo records, and his fourth release, titled Awake, is no exception.
Finally we’ll hear a few from U.K. indie band Bombay Bicycle Club. Their session was on the heels of their fourth studio release which saw the group exploring more elements of electronica and world music woven into the bands classic, melodic style.
