The Wavelength
Monday August 30th, 2021 with Joe Reilly
Hour 1 has lots of great pop-rock and the Ring Shepherds. Hour 2 features some poignant songs about child abuse and the voice of Sinead O'Connor.

A couple of recent releases I'm pretty excited with show up again on the show tonight... beginning with my obsession with the album Habitual Orbits by the Ring Shepherds. I love mixing songs from this album with pop-rock gems and do so again tonight in Hour 1 of the show. Hope you enjoy it and be sure to check out Habitual Orbits by the Ring Shepherds here: https://theringshepherds.bandcamp.com/releases In hour 2 we explore some songs about child abuse, trauma and mental health partly inspired by a song on Suzie Ungerleider's fantastic new album I Am Suzie Ungerleider. https://suzieungerleider.bandcamp.com/album/my-name-is-suzie-ungerleider-2 The song "Disappear" is from the perspective of a child who wants to disappear due to the abuse they are suffering but ultimately the perpetrating father disappears. Listening to that song recently made me think of Holly Cole's take on "I Don't Wanna Grow Up" and Lucy Dacus's poignant new song "Thumbs." I just finished reading Sinead O'Connor's memoir "Rememberings" and it chronicles her challenges around child abuse she suffered. She has many songs on this subject and I featured a couple as well as a touching song "Streetcars" that is as personal and vulnerable as O'Connor's memoir. Read this solid review of her memoir here: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2021/jun/06/rememberings-by-sinead-oconnor-review-the-sound-and-the-fury Finally we wrap up with beautiful music from the new album by loscil. It's called "Clara." https://loscil.bandcamp.com/album/clara Enjoy. Get vaccinated. Stay well.
