I’m spotlighting three outstanding releases this week. First, New Zealand’s “Outside In” has a record coming out this week, “Karmatrain”. They describe their music as “Getting a slap in the face and a shoulder massage at the same time”. That’s perfect. It’s very well produced and contains many nuances while remaining accessible. We’ll hear it all.

After Outside In, I’ll switch gears and feature a full play of the great new Elastic Blur release, “Out Of The Sudden”. I’ve seen this young band a couple of times and they rock extremely hard.

Finally, I just became aware of a live recording of one of my favorite bands, Nemo. Five of the six tracks we will sample were originally on “Le Ver Dans Le Fruit”, my favorite record of 2013.
