The U & U Show 403 | Record Store Day 2015 Preview



Night Beds : Tide Teeth (2015)
-          2nd recent single that continues their now more electronic approach.
-          'Me, Liquor and God', was released in Dec '14.
-          Beautiful debut LP was 2013's Country Sleep. Also one EP.
-          One of the danciest tracks the band has released.
-          Led by Winston Yellen.



Sufjan Stevens : Exploding Whale : Epic Fail 7" (2015)
-          Latest single released close enough to include it as a Record Store Day surprise.
-          Just released his 6th album, Carrie and Lowell.
-          It is widely regarded as his and the year's best so far.
-          One of the most talented musicians that I've been able to enjoy every step of the way.
-          This first teaser sounds like a hope-elevating return to his early stripped back folk days.
