John Diliberto talks to AESEAES, a couple in Austin who have been streaming their dream pop live once a week for a decade. We hear about that and their new album, Opia.
Our June CD of the Month: The Fear of Never Landing by Marconi Union. The English electronic band altered their sound a bit, but still deliver deep synthesizer moods and gripping melodies.

Soak up the rays and let the sun shine in as Echoes orchestrate a soundscape for the Summer Solstice. We’ll hear music from Bill Nelson, George Winston, Mimi Page and Ludovico Einaudi.
On a Slow Flow Echoes, music by the ambient collaboration of Keith and Holly Kenniff. Keith records as Goldmund and Helios, and they both record together as Mint Julep and now, Harbors.
Music by Limina, an ambient chamber music project from Tyler Durham. He recorded with members of the London Symphony Orchestra to get the crystalline sound of his album, Coming Home.
World fusion from Ravi Kulur and Barry Phillips. Kulur plays bansuri flute and Phillips plays cello, an instrument he’s used in folk music, jazz and new age music in the past.
On the next Echoes we go meditative with new music by singer Manika Kaur. She’s another singer adapting Hindi chants into a more modern sound. She does it on her new album, Devocean.
Music by French singer Oklou. She’s just released her debut album with an enigmatic name, Choke Enough. She started out in classical cello and piano before switching-on.
