First time back in teh saddle for a bit - some classic oldies, like On The Beach, but also a bunch of fresh as brand new tunes from upcoming albums by Waxahatchee, ISMAY, the quite awesome Chatham County Line, Sarah Jarosz and more. Also, a few tracks off Calexico's Feast of Wire to get you a long to the show in a couple of weeks.
Welcome back to Universal Harmony. This week, we're keeping things classic with a selection of tunes that just feel right. Tune in, unwind, and let the music speak for itself.
Hosted by PHILLIEE, featuring the Sound of Sydney courtesy of our man Carlos Avilés.
