We’ll speak to San Francisco’s DIY garage-pop upstarts The Umbrellas about their just-unveiled second album, the fantastic “Fairweather Friend” …

Plus we’ll be spinning brand new music from Helado Negro, Beth Gibbons (from Portishead), Mount Kimbie, Caleb Landry Jones and more …

And we’ll dig into this week’s 2SER Feature Album from Toronto’s tearaway jangle-rock dynamos Ducks Ltd., the harmonious “Harm’s Way” …
