Just a couple weeks ago, local favorites Brief Candles reemerged with new EP Unfinished Nature — their first batch of fresh studio music in seven years. Often labeled as shoegaze, the group's music dives deeper into kraut rock, '90s indie rock, new wave and psych.
We’ll hear those influences (and more) when the longstanding Milwaukee band's Kevin Dixon and Jen Boniger join me on the Afternoon Drive for a DJ Takeover from 4-5 p.m. this Wednesday, Nov 13. Be sure to tune in for a full hour of their favorites, tunes that shaped their sound and a choice selection from their own catalog.
