TOP 5 ADDS, 8/9


top 5 adds is a weekly section of WOBC that displays the top 5 most played new albums at the station. each album links to the band’s myspace, last.fm, or other music player so you can check them out for yourself!

1    DIVA    The Glitter End

julianna barwick and grouper ran into some witches who merge-hexed them into DIVA. haunting, breathy vocals for lazy summer existentialists to vibe with.

2    EMMY THE GREAT    Virtue

3    SHENANDOAH DAVIS    The Company We Keep

something to tide you over between joanna newsom albums; the feathery vocals immersed in fantasy are eerily reminiscent of newsom’s.

4    YOU ME AND US    Paperweights

fuzzy california garage pop; along the same lines as BRILLIANT COLORS.

5    DOM    Family Of Love
