When you tune into this episode of FREAKS ONLY, you’re likely to hear the most KCRW track that has ever existed. Ready for this? It’s Toro y Moi teaming up with frequent bandmates/collaborators Brijean… covering Tom Tom Club’s “Genius Of Love.” And yes, it sounds like exactly what you think it’s going to sound like which is to say it sounds awesome. Plus, Mid Spiral: Chaos, the surprise new EP from BADBADNOTGOOD and a couple of cuts from the tenth anniversary edition of Sylvan Esso’s self-titled debut album.
