3WK Celebrates 2012
Happy New Year from all of us at 3WK Undergroundradio!

2011 was an amazing year for music: (click here to see the 3WK Top Albums of 2011), with the all the new artists that have arrived on the scene recently, we predict 2012 will be just as great! Be sure to tune in as often as possible to hear all the newest music.

For 2012, 3WK has already begun work on a new website. Our priorities are to make listening as easy as possible (no more players to download) and become as interactive as we can. You'll still be able to see what music we're playing and read music news, but we'll also let you post to our site. We'll bring back Facebook and probably even begin tweeting.

After a great 2011 where Atlas Sound topped several year-end lists with its album Parallax on 4AD, the solo project of Deerhunter frontman Bradford Cox has announced a couple of North American tour dates.

The Georgia native created Atlas Sound in 2008 as a way to further explore the musical ideas that were not possible with a five-piece band. The tour begins next month in Los Angeles and will also take the psychedelic-pop pro...

Jacques Lu Cont Church (Stereogum Premiere)
Jan 27, 2012 4:24pm | StereoGum

Jacques Lu Cont is a many-monikered veteran British dance producer who has made tracks under any number of pseudonyms — Les Rhytmes Digitales, the Thin White Duke, the Zoot Woman project. He’s also produced for people like the Killers and Madonna. And right now, he’s releasing a series of his own tracks. He started it off two months ago with “Reload.” And below, we’ve got the second of those tracks: The blaringly catchy “Church.” Stream it after...

Schoolboy Q Nightmare On Figg St Video
Jan 27, 2012 3:30pm | StereoGum

Here’s another video from Schoolboy Q’s Album Of The Week alum Habits & Contradictions, and it’s a dark, ominous clip that fits the menacing vibe of the song pretty well.

War Somme, Maggio
Jan 27, 2012 3:17pm | StereoGum

Elias Bender Rønnenfelt, frontman for jittery Danish punks Iceage, has a new side project called War, who could not possibly sound less like the Latin funk band with the same name. Instead, this War is a duo with Sexdrome’s Loke Rahbek, and they specialize in murky, diffuse, dark tracks that use loops and electronics. Below, listen to their track “Somme, Maggio,” their side of a split release with the Swedish band Lust For Youth. It’s five minutes long, the leng...
