Friday Night Five features five bands that have been added to the playlist this week. They cover a wide range of musical styles including indie rock, post-punk, new wave, electronic, experimental, shoegaze, coldwave, dreampop and more. Tune in to Strawberry Tongue Radio at 19:00, 21:00 & 23:00 EST to hear the complete show. Here’s a quick peek at tonight’s lineup.

The Shifts are a four-piece indie rock outfit from Eugene, Oregon. Comprised of Macks Johanesen (guitar/vocals/electric sitar), Jeff Kretsinger (bass), Eli Tocchini (drums/monotone chanting) and Maci DeBlanc (keys/backup vocals) the group creates an uplifting, quirky and hard-hitting indie rock sound. Combining influences such as shoegaze and dreampop paired with a strong dose of tongue-in-cheek the group has been releasing music since 2013. They released their self-titled album in August of 2016 where tonight’s tracks are from. They include “Spring,” “Iron and Sand” and “Knowing Me.”

Orsak:Oslo post-rock band based out of Sweden that plays a low, depressive and instrumental drone blues. Their sound crosses over post rock and psychedelia to create an acid stoner rock.

Heart Years is an electronic dreampop project out of London. His sound is melodic, expansive and drenched with synths. Inspired by lost thoughts, hopeless ideals, and 80’s fade outs, he creates a wistful ambiance with his music. I have two tracks featured tonight including “Carry Me” and “The Great Fades.”

  Tonight’s mix includes a lot of dreamy, synthy, post-punk sounds. Tonight’s lineup is both nostalgic and modern. It features two artist releases from the 80’s, and multiple bands who have just released their debut EP’s.

In no particular order, I begin with Thick Pigeon, an oblique, minimalist post-punk project of Miranda Stanton released on the Crepescule/Factory label in the 1980’s. Moving on to Distant Mountains, a San Francisco based electronic duo that just released their first EP. On to a dream rock trio from Sydney, Australia by the name of Crystal Cities. Stonerpop doesn’t sound like what you think it might. They are an electropop duo from Louisiana. Golden Halos are fantastic Portland based electropop duo and JYLDA, while now in London is a Berlin native that performs a luscious minimalist dream pop. Friend and favorite of Strawberry Tongue, Shadows & Mirrors, is the darkwave project of Brian Diamond, who is based in Chicago. Tok Rukoo is a stunning post-punk revival group based out of Minsk, Belarus. Shox is a one-off electronic post-punk trio that released on single on the pre-4AD label Axis in 1980. Cloud Tangle is the dreamy solo project of multi-instrumentalist Amber Ramsay. Tablefox are post-punk revivalists from Auckland, New Zealand and Los Angeles-based space-rocker Barstool Astronaut.  Orsak Oslo, Norwegian post-rockers, and staples of Strawberry Tongue, have just released their newest EP. MOWUKIS is a dreamy electropop project of Louis-Louise Kay, and Le SuperHomard, a French indie pop group, has recently issued remixes of one of their popular tracks. Finally, Useless Cities is a London based indie rock quartet who makes their debut on Strawberry Tongue. As always, please visit these artists and support their music.

Friday Night Faves airs every Friday evening at 7pm EDT/EST, and  randomly re-generates at 7am & 7pm EDT/EST on Saturday and Sunday following. After that, you will hear these artists as part of our regular rotation on Strawberry Tongue Radio.
