Automatic’s sultry and shimmering take on Lou Reed’s “New Sensations” comes our way as part of a Record Store Day treat from our friends at Light in the Attic Records. The Power of the Heart: A Tribute to Lou Reed emerged as an RSD exclusive, is available to stream now on Spotify, but sounds the very best when it’s experienced as part of an episode of FREAKS ONLY (trust us). Plus, “For Real”, an effects-laden stomper from The Shacks and the very latest from John Tejada (teaming with Diamond Day) — “How I’m Wired”.
