We can change the ending
Listened
Radio Friend, it’s a Tuesday!
We’re starting off with energy again this morning at 10 Eastern. Then we’ll cut to three tracks from the Danish artist Elias Rønnenfelt, palate cleanse with a little krautrock-inspired music.
As we reach cruising altitude, on your left you’ll hear shimmering indie-pop melodies shifting into heavy, sprawling psych-rock landscapes. On your right you’ll hear a down-tempo, songwriting-focused sequence.
As we prepare to land, ensure your tray table is in the full, upright, and locked position while you enjoy spacey modular electronics, quiet piano movements, and deep-groove vocal delivery.
All that and more on today’s Chord Drift!
Tune in at 10 AM ET to 88.1 FM and HD1 in Chattanooga and throughout the Tennessee Valley, on line everywhere at wutc.org and on the go in the WUTC App (Apple | Google).
