Sea Lemon [Performance & Interview Only]

On the show this time, it’s the Northwest dream-pop of Sea Lemon. Sea Lemon is the Seattle-based solo project of musician Natalie Lew. The songs inhabit the deep, lush, reverb-drenched spaces of shoegaze, but carry the bright hooks of true pop music into those depths.  Her debut album Diving for a Prize was released in May of 2025.

THIS WILL DESTROY YOU

On the show this time, it’s the epic long-form rock of Texas band THIS WILL DESTROY YOU. The obnoxiously named Texas quartet, THIS WILL DESTROY YOU, started recording music in 2005 to have something to sell at shows.  Their first record which they were burning to CD-R themselves, was called Young Mountain. They released 4 more records, recorded with the brilliant producer John Congleton.  Musical and personal differences led to members leaving, and eventually to the current situation, where there are two versions of the band, each with one of the original guitarists.  This performance at KEXP features original member Jeremy Galindo, and songs from Young Mountain, S/T, and Another Language.  There’s one song from Jeremy and original bass player Raymond Brown’s new project - You, Infinite, available on Pelagic Records.
